| The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore whether or not online campus racial climate surveys gather information that will assist institutions of higher education in the United States in identifying the disparate needs of African-American students and Sub-Saharan African students, especially in regard to racial microaggression within three tenets of Critical Race Theory (CRT), namely ordinariness, interest convergence, and counterstories. Research questions were derived from the purpose: determining distinctions made between Sub-Saharan African students from African-American students; status on racial microaggression within the campus racial climate for Sub-Saharan African students as defined by Critical Race Theory for education; and measurement of incidents and presence of racial microaggression in the campus racial climate. The qualitative multiple case study data were obtained from institutional websites and search engines.
