Equity

Achieving parity in policy, process, treatment and outcomes for underrepresented and marginalized people and groups while accounting for differences. It considers power, privilege, access, opportunities, treatment, impacts, and outcomes, in several areas including:

Representational equity: proportional and meaningful participation at all levels of an institution

Resource equity: the distribution of resources that help reduce inequitable gaps for people and groups; and

Equity-mindedness: an active state of awareness, and willingness to address equity issues.
