Abstract: This book is for anyone who is troubled by the substantial disparities in college participation, persistence, and completion among racial and ethnic groups in the United States. Synthesizing equity standards based on three theories of justice--justice as fairness, justice as care, and justice as transformation--the authors provide strategies for enacting equity in practice on college campuses.
