Mind the Gap: Going beyond diversity and rethinking inclusion

Whereas there is ample evidence of persistent equity gaps across the education pipeline, successfully closing the gap has thus far eluded higher education leaders and policy makers. What do we know about what works, what are emerging best practices, and why are equity gaps so stubborn?

Higher Ed Rewired spoke with postsecondary education researchers, Dr. Frank Harris III and Dr. Eric Felix of San Diego State University Community College Equity Assessment Lab, to discuss their research and recommendations on what is required to  close equity gaps. We also dive into the work at Pasadena City College that has driven institutional change by looking beyond diversity and rethinking inclusion for their 27,000 students.
