Abstract
This discussion chapter juxtaposes and synthesizes all themes of Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) and Ethnic Minority-Serving Institutions (EMSIs) from a comparative perspective to discuss their roles, facilitating factors, challenges and responses, and future development. TCUs and EMSIs have some common roles, facilitating factors, and challenges, and which are also similar to their mainstream counterpart higher education institutions. However, TCUs and EMSIs have an additional unique purpose to provide indigenous/ethnic higher education, conduct meaningful research, and provide needs-based community service and outreach. Also, their dual missions—especially their attention on culture and language preservation—make them differ from mainstream higher education institutions.
