However, the Hispanic student population has increased from 3.9 percent in 1985-86 to 6 percent in 1991-92, mostly due to migrant students. The percentage of other minority students has remained relatively stable. Consequently, there is increased pressure to improve cultural diversity awareness in administrative preparation programs. State regulations covering teacher and administrator licensure rules outline "general knowledge" or "general skills" requirements concerning cultural diversity awareness. However, the regulations do not require cultural diversity issues to be included in the course content of administrator preparation programs. A survey of the chief administrators at the five approved administrator preparation programs in the state found that the programs a'e meeting diversity requirements in four ways: recruitment of students with diverse backgrounds, diversity-oriented courses, inclusion of diversity "units" into other courses, and internship activities. However, a content analysis of internship plans designed by administrative students at one university found most of the plans failed to meet the specific requirements or spirit of state regulations on diversity in administrator preparation. Additional regulations may be needed in curriculum and program structure to correct this problem. OPT,

Survey data established that action research is used infrequently to meet dissertation requirements. Contributing factors include lack of clarity regarding the nature of action research (AR) and concerns about methodological legitimacy. Because the development of collaborative leadership skills and the pursuit of social justice objectives are inherent to the action research process, these results call for additional discussion regarding this distinctive methodology and its role in the preparation of educational leaders at the doctoral level.
