Engaging the Race Question - Accountability and Equity in U.s. Higher Education

This book is for anyone who is challenged or troubled by the substantial disparities in college participation, persistence, and completion among racial and ethnic groups. Through case studies of college faculty, administrators, and student affairs professionals engaged in inquiry using the Equity Scorecard, this book clarifies the "muddled conversation” colleges and universities are having about equity.
