Osei-Tutu, Ellen Mabel (2021). Improving Equity in Tertiary Education in Ghana. Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies in Education, v10 spec iss p21-38. The United Nations sustainable development goals in education aim at inclusive and quality education for all. To achieve this, Ghana has a Draft Inclusive Education Policy which seeks to address the diverse learning needs of all citizens. Furthermore, the 1992 constitution provides the legal basis for the provision of higher education to be equally accessible to all. Equity in education means making sure that equitable and quality education is accessible to all students irrespective of their background. This paper based on review of literature, sought to identify interventions implemented in enhancing equity in tertiary education institutions, identify gaps which remain and suggest strategies to close these equity gaps. The gaps include enrolment by gender, disability issues and spatial disparity…. [PDF]

Conger, Dylan; Dickson, Lisa (2017). Gender Imbalance in Higher Education: Insights for College Administrators and Researchers. Research in Higher Education, v58 n2 p214-230 Mar. University administrators often strive for racial, socioeconomic, and geographic diversity in their student populations. Today, administrators face a new demographic challenge as women increasingly outnumber men in applications, enrollments, and graduation rates. This article discusses the causes and potential consequences of the growing gender imbalance and the legality of admissions policies that attempt to restore balance by giving preference to males. Using multiple analytic approaches, we test whether a public institution with increasing female enrollments responded by giving preferences in admissions to males. We conclude with insights for administrators and researchers…. [Direct]

Chang, Benjamin (2017). Asian Americans and Education. Online Submission The communities that constitute the racialized category of Asian Americans consist of approximately 20 million people in the United States, or about 5% of the total population. About 20% or 4 million are of primary or secondary school age, and over 1.1 million are in higher education. Both in popular and academic discourse, "Asian American" generally refers to people who have ethnic backgrounds in South Asia (e.g., Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka), Southeast Asia (e.g., Cambodia, the Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam), and East Asia (e.g., China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan). As "Asian American" is an umbrella term used to categorize a very diverse, heterogeneous, and transnational set of populations, Asian Americans as a group present various challenges to education and research in and about the United States. These challenges can concern paradigms of achievement, citizenship, family involvement, access (e.g., higher education, bilingual education), language and… [PDF]

Abraham, Rahel; Bekele, Hirut; Semela, Tesfaye (2020). Navigating the River Nile: The Chronicle of Female Academics in Ethiopian Higher Education. Gender and Education, v32 n3 p328-346. Beyond the statistics, the underlying causes for women's absence as academics and leaders in higher education institutions (HEIs) in sub-Saharan African countries have not been sufficiently understood. Taking Ethiopia as an example, this study offers unique insights into the careers of female academic staff. The study employed exploratory sequential mixed method design using secondary analysis of nationwide data, institutional survey, and a follow-up qualitative in-depth interview with 13 female full-time academic staff purposively selected from three major public HEIs. The findings reveal that relative to men, the likelihood that women academics hold the rank of 'lecturer' decreases by 50% while the probability of assuming assistant professorship or above declines by 72%. Furthermore, it was found that women's entry into, and success in academia is impacted by complex set of factors ranging from hegemonic gender beliefs that trigger the use of double standards disfavoring women to… [Direct]

International Journal of Multicultural Education, v21 n2 p64-80. This paper addresses critical issues related to student support and how different departments define inclusivity for graduate students in the context of American higher education. A four-framed, comprehensive, tripartite model is provided to guide institutions by assisting graduate school administrators, who are charged with improving inclusiveness regarding academic programs and departments. This model suggests services and support in precise ways by delineating the different needs that programs have. Finally, this manuscript concludes with a discussion on encouraging programs and departments to deliberate on why they value diversity…. [PDF]

Bowman, Nicholas; Denson, Nida; Eagan, Kevin; Park, Julie (2019). Race and Class beyond Enrollment: The Link between Socioeconomic Diversity and Cross-Racial Interaction. Journal of Higher Education, v90 n5 p665-689. Colleges increasingly emphasize the importance of socioeconomic diversity, but little work examines the link between such diversity and outcomes important to the campus climate. Using a national dataset, we test the link between two measures of socioeconomic diversity and cross-racial interaction, an outcome paramount to triggering the benefits of diversity. Findings indicate that there was no direct effect associated with this form of socioeconomic diversity. However, cross-racial interaction was lowest at institutions with lower structural income diversity and lower structural racial diversity. Comparison of predictors between income groups also identify that middle and upper-income Black students have significantly higher rates of cross-racial interaction. Implications for policymakers and educators are discussed…. [Direct]

Hough, Heather J.; Marsh, Julie A.; Plank, David; Polikof, Morgan S. (2019). Californians and Public Education: Views from the 2019 PACE/USC Rossier Poll. Policy Analysis for California Education, PACE With a new Governor, State Superintendent, and Legislators in Sacramento and a diminished federal role in education, there is an opportunity for California's leaders to take stock of recent educational reforms and make necessary improvements. Several high-profile reforms over the past few years, including the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) and the California School Dashboard, have meaningfully reshaped California public education. Recently, a research project involving over 100 researchers across the state and the nation, showed that these reforms have resulted in improvements, but that many changes are still needed to address persistent achievement gaps. This report presents findings from a state-representative poll of California registered voters on an array of education policy issues. The poll was led by researchers at the University of Southern California Rossier School of Education and Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE) and was conducted by Tulchin Research…. [PDF]

Sabharwal, Nidhi Sadana (2020). Caste Relations in Student Diversity: Thinking through Dr Ambedkar's Perspective towards a Civic Learning Approach in Higher Education. International Education Journal: Comparative Perspectives, v19 n1 p30-43. The chairman of the drafting committee of the modern Indian Constitution, Dr Bhim Rao Ambedkar, emphasized that education cultivates democracy in society, strengthens the roots of democracy, and brings about social transformation. The social transformation includes a way of life that will promote liberty, equality, and fraternity, which are Dr Ambedkar's "key elements of an ideal society". This paper discusses the implications for higher education campuses for achieving an ideal society in light of the emerging evidence on peer group formation around identities and issues of discrimination associated with caste in the context of increasing student diversity. The paper also emphasizes the important role of a civic-learning approach to higher education; meaning an active engagement with values of liberty, equality, and fraternity. There is a shared belief that higher education has a great potential to be a social laboratory for civic learning and to inculcate democratic… [PDF]

Richards, Meredith P. (2017). Gerrymandering Educational Opportunity: The Extent to which School Boundaries Foster or Hinder Efforts at Enhancing School Diversity Depends on the Motivation and Political Will of District Leadership. Phi Delta Kappan, v99 n3 p65-70 Nov. "Gerrymandering" is known best as a tool to manipulate boundaries for voting districts, but school districts have long used the same tool to manipulate school boundaries. The author used geospatial techniques–mapping various kinds of demographic data onto school boundaries–to examine public school attendance zones and their effect on students. The author's research yielded several key insights. Like congressional districts, school zones are highly gerrymandered; the gerrymandering of school zones serves to worsen the already severe racial segregation of public schools, but affirmative gerrymandering can effectively increase diversity and reduce racial segregation….

Reimers, Fernando, Ed. (2000). Unequal Schools, Unequal Chances: The Challenges to Equal Opportunity in the Americas. The David Rockefeller Center Series on Latin American Studies. This book aims to unveil some of the intricacies and paradoxes in the links among education, poverty, and inequality in the Americas by offering a current account of the status of educational opportunities for low-income groups. The goal is to offer various frameworks to conceptualize the dynamics of educational inequality at the micro-level and to discuss, based on empirical evidence, the short- and long-term impact of various policy efforts aimed at expanding the learning opportunities of poor children. The book covers Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, and the United States, with two chapters on Latin America as a region. Analyses frequently point out the particular disadvantagement of rural and indigenous children. Chapters are: (1) "What Can We Learn from Studying Educational Opportunity in the Americas and Why Should We Care?" (Fernando Reimers); (2) "Perspectives in the Study of Educational Opportunity" (Fernando Reimers); (3) "Excellence,…

Temkin, Larry S. (2016). The Many Faces of Equal Opportunity. Theory and Research in Education, v14 n3 p255-276 Nov. The ideal of equality of opportunity plays an important role in contemporary social and political discourse, and it is one of the few ideals which most people, across the political spectrum, accept. In this article, I argue that the seemingly widespread agreement about the value of equal opportunity is more apparent than real. I distinguish between relatively narrow principles of equal opportunity that focus on certain social, political, and legal benefits; the equal opportunity merit principle; and wide principles of equal opportunity that focus on any goods or benefits that impact the quality of a person's life. In doing this, I aim to illuminate the intuitive and philosophical underpinnings that these approaches provide to equal opportunity and explore their various strengths, weaknesses, and implications. I also note that questions analogous to those raised about the value of equality can be raised about the value of equal opportunity. In particular, one might wonder whether one… [Direct]

Dymski, Gary A. (2017). The Challenge of Creating a More Diverse Economics: Lessons from the UCR Minority Pipeline Project. Race, Ethnicity and Education, v20 n3 p385-400. This paper reflects on the experience of the 1999-2002 minority pipeline program (MPP) at the University of California, Riverside. With support from the American Economic Association, the MPP identified students of color interested in economics, let them explore economic issues affecting minority communities, and encouraged them to consider postgraduate work in economics. The MPP's successes and failures can be traced to the shifting balance in California's racialized political economy, especially a state ballot initiative forbidding the use of applicant race or ethnicity in University of California admission decisions, and to the transformation of economics itself, especially at the level of doctoral training. The MPP experience may be of relevance for other efforts to increase racial/ethnic diversity in social science disciplines.
