Abstract: 
Hispanic-serving institutions educate students of color within racialized organizational and policy structures. This study looks at how diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plans at Hispanic-serving community colleges construct narratives of intersectional diversity and racialized Latinx identity (HSCCs). Using critical discourse analysis, critical race theory, and LatCrit, the analysis broadens DEI policy implementation at HSCCs. The findings demonstrate the interdependence of state-level policy, policy implementation guidance, and institutional-level discourse on intersectional diversity and demographic data. It also pays sufficient attention to the racial composition and HSI status of Latinx students. This study demonstrates how state-level diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies can either advance or eliminate Latinx intersectionality.
