This article addresses three goals that pertain to globalization and its impact on public policy in general and Hispanic higher education in particular. First, the author defines globalization as it relates to education. Then, he considers what globalization suggests with regard to the public good. Finally, four implications are suggested about how globalization frames Hispanic higher education. The purpose of this article is to suggest that the structural and cultural actions that we provide in response to a call for help is circumscribed by the pervasive nature of globalization.
