Racial Equity 101
Racial equity is an outcome.
Yet, this outcome requires an intentional process and targeted practices and strategies.
Adopting a racial equity framework does not mean simply thinking about race in the context of a decision.
Racial Equity requires that we 1) develop an awareness of how race as a social construct impacts experiences and outcomes for others; 2) examine how systems and institutions create and perpetuate inequities on the basis of race; and 3) transform our institutions so that within and across we can no longer predict outcomes by race.
Racial Equity: When people have access and opportunity regardless of race. Therefore, outcomes become random and not able to be predicted by race.
