67.029 - Institutional Change for Racial Equity in Higher Education: Recommendations for Necessary Action

Mon, April 8, 4:10 to 5:40pm, Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel, Floor: Second Floor, Provincial Ballroom North

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

Although problem identification and understanding the root causes of racism in its many forms is important, the papers in this symposium identify institutional structures, processes, and practices that are critical in working towards racial equity in higher education, with each paper offering foundational perspectives for doing so. In addition, racial inequities if not revealed and resolved can potentially derail a student’s educational trajectory and even the career opportunities of those who have dedicated their lives to educating and fighting to achieve racial justice for others. As such, each paper in this symposium discusses the following question: How can we as educational leaders move beyond just problem identification towards taking real action to address systemic racism in higher education institutions?
