What Racial Equity Requires

Join the Association of American Universities (AAU) for this conversation, part of their speaker series on fostering equitable environments at research universities. This session will focus on ways racial issues are commonly mishandled at research universities across the United States. Dr. Shaun R. Harper will draw heavily from data conducted at the interdisciplinary research center he founded at the University of Pennsylvania a decade ago and now directs at USC. Dr. Harper will offer practical guidance to campus leaders who are committed to effectively solving complex racial problems; meeting the needs of students and employees of color; holding themselves and other members of their campus communities accountable for actualizing diversity and inclusion goals; and achieving and sustaining racial equity at AAU member institutions.
