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.

NACE September 2021 Quick Poll: Racial Injustice Follow Up

TRENDS & PREDICTIONS
Six people standing

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

NACE is polling employers and career services professionals on their efforts—and those of their organizations and institutions—to address racial injustice and the needs of historically marginalized groups. This poll is a follow up to NACE’s August 2020 quick poll and is designed to gauge the level of progress made in addressing discrimination and inequitable practices and policies. In addition to addressing inequities in recruiting, hiring, and the workplace as they relate to new college graduates and interns, the poll looks at the internal policies and practices of career centers and their institutions as well as at recruiting operations and their organizations.

The poll was conducted from September 15 – October 12.
