Described as "over-represented," Asian Americans have been overlooked in discussions about diversity; however, racial hostility continues to affect Asian American students, and they have actively challenged their invisibility in minority student discussions. This study details the history of Asian American student activism at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, as students rejected the university's definition of minority student needs that relied on a model minority myth, measures of under-representation, and a Black-White racial model, concepts that made them the "unseen unheard minority" on campus. This activism led to the creation of one of the largest Asian American Studies programs and Asian American cultural centers in the Midwest.
