Resources and Projects

Higher education equity is essential for promoting social justice and equal opportunities. It ensures that individuals from all backgrounds, regardless of their race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, or other demographic factors, have equal access to and opportunities within higher education. Our research helps identify and understand disparities in access, retention, and outcomes, and provides evidence-based recommendations to address them.
