| Sommario/riassunto: | This publication, titled 'America’s Unmet Promise: The Imperative for Equity in Higher Education,' explores the critical issue of equity in higher education within the United States. It delves into the systemic inequities that impact educational opportunities and outcomes, emphasizing the need for intentional strategies to create equitable educational environments. The book presents principles for designing equity-focused educational systems and highlights the cumulative effects of existing disparities. Intended for educators, policymakers, and stakeholders in the higher education sector, the work aims to inspire action and policy changes to address these challenges. Funded in part by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the publication reflects the perspectives of its authors rather than the foundation's policies. |
