Theoretical framework and related literature were reviewed as a preliminary response to the research questions. Method: A qualitative research, the participants were purposefully sampled, based on the five avowed Ontario universities that offer the mentioned program. Instruments for data collection and analysis were: interviews of five public relations officers, transcribed by Voice base software and questionnaire for twenty students constructed and analysed with survey monkey software. Results: The participants' responses presented different educational brand promotional strategies and reasons for students' school of choice. Conclusion: The data suggests that brand promotion strategies lure students to their school of choice and sustain the institution's legitimacy. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The greatest gratitude goes to God almighty who bestowed the knowledge, wisdom and understanding that were used to make this project come to past.

The problem is that minority students get school suspension at significantly higher rates than non-minority students. The theory guiding this study is the Black identity development theory. There are four research questions with a central research question is, what are school administrators' perspectives on policies and practices addressing disproportionality in student discipline and suspension rates for minority students in Ontario? This single qualitative case study design purposefully sampled 10 school administrators for 7 th to 12 th grade from the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) in Ontario, Canada, that have successfully reduced suspension rates in the last three years. The data collection methods include semi-structured open-ended interview questions, focus group interviews, and the collection of the administrator's school discipline policy for analysis. The research used crosscase analysis software to transcribe the participants' interviews, sort out the themes, and assess all the relevant terms from interviews. There are four central themes and 15 sub-themes generated from the participants' interviews. The focus group interview revealed the participants' knowledge of policies and practices addressing disproportionality in student discipline and suspension rates for minority students.
