Equity Definition

San Diego Miramar College Equity Definition

Equity is the framework and practice in which historically marginalized and minoritized populations (based on race, economic class, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, and/or disproportionately impacted) are provided the resources, opportunities, and education to achieve success – from access through completion. Equity addresses systemic inequalities through the implementation of evidence-based policies, programs, procedures, and legislation which inform strategic and intentional resource allocation, support structures, and opportunities in order to ameliorate the impacts from past and current inequalities.
