Equity

What is Equity?

The term “equity” refers to fairness and justice and is distinguished from equality: Whereas equality means providing the same to all, equity means recognizing that we do not all start from the same place and must acknowledge and make adjustments to imbalances. The process is ongoing, requiring us to identify and overcome intentional and unintentional barriers arising from bias or systemic structures.

TAGS: diversity and inclusion, surveys, trends and predictions,

In August 2020, NACE launched quick polls to gauge how institutions, organizations, and individual career services and recruiting offices are responding to the need to address racial injustice. (Note: The polls also reflect strategies detailed in NACE’s commitment plan for supporting the Black community and fighting racial injustice. )

Results are provided in real time and updated as responses are added or altered. (Note: Participants may change their responses throughout the life of the poll, which closes September 8.) In addition, “snapshots” of results will be provided through NACE communications, such as the Spotlight newsletter, and poll data will be used to inform NACE events and programming.
