Addressing Equity Through Federal Education Policy During the Obama, Trump, and Biden Administrations
Sun, April 24, 8:00 to 9:30am PDT (8:00 to 9:30am PDT), Manchester Grand Hyatt, Floor: 3rd Level, Harbor Tower, Hillcrest ABSession Type: Symposium
Abstract
Since 1965, the Elementary and Secondary Education Act has been a lever for promoting equity in state and local policy, and equity has been a primary rationale for federal involvement in primary and secondary education. This symposium examines how various aspects of equity have been furthered or curtailed under the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations. Through five paper presentations and commentary from discussants, this symposium moves chronologically through analysis of equity in federal education policy, executive action, and civil rights enforcement during the Obama, Trump, and Biden administrations. This symposium builds on earlier research on federalism to examine how decentralization relates to equity and will provide insights for the Biden administration and the future of federal education policy.
