| Abstract: | Nationwide, a range of factors, including the rollback of campus diversity programs and affirmative action admissions, barriers to students accessing basic needs support, and ongoing gaps in Title IX protections, present opportunities for policymakers to ensure all students can thrive in postsecondary educational settings. Promoting educational equity is a multilayered effort that must encompass a full analysis of how intersecting identities and issues intertwine. This paper provides an overview of what the research says regarding educational equity and why it matters to provide safe and supportive educational environments. Solutions for policymakers are given to alleviate some of the existing burdens and promote environments where all students thrive and succeed. |
