Confronting Equity Issues on Campus

Implementing the Equity Scorecard in Theory and Practice

Herausgeber: Bensimon, Estela Mara; Malcom, Lindsey

Beschreibung

Proponents of evidence-based decision-making seriously underestimate the complexity of transforming data into actionable knowledge. The Equity Scorecard, which has a proven track record as a powerful data tool for institutional change, and is the subject of this book, takes as its point of departure that institutional practitioners are in the best position to use data to close the racial gap in the main indicators of successful completion.
