OUR EQUITY LENS

In order to break the predictive link between student demographics and student success, we must apply the principle of equity to all aspects of our schools/departments.

QUESTIONS

As you make decisions to support your work, consider the following:

  • Whose voice is and isn't represented in this decision?
  • Who does this decision benefit or burden?
  • Is this decision in alignment with the BSD Equity Policy?
  • Does this decision close or widen the access, opportunity and expectation gaps?
