MMEP’s Vision

We envision a just society in which an equitable educational ecosystem

ensures all students achieve their full potential. Achieving this vision would

mean that race is no longer a predictor of educational success.

We have all seen disparities in education in MN along the continuum (PreK to 20).

We describe them as the “achievement gap”

Race Equity is not the Achievement Gap.

Defining “equity in higher education?” The phrase “equity in higher education” refers to creating opportunities for equal access

and success in higher education among historically underrepresented student populations, such as ethnic minority and low-income students. Within the postsecondary education

community, “equity” is further defined into three terms including:

(1)representational equity, which refers to the proportional participation of historically underrepresented student populations at all levels of an institution;

(2) resource equity, which takes account of the educational resources, when unequally distributed, that are directed at closing equity gaps; and

(3) equity mindedness, which involves institutional leaders and staff demonstrating an awareness and a willingness to address equity issues.

Policy changes that could be adopted to help address equity issues in higher education:Some policy recommendations include:

(1) establishing accountability practices for routine data collection, use, andreporting to continually monitor the status of educational opportunity andoutcomes by racial-ethnic student groups and

(2) allocating resources to develop systemic and institutional capacity to transform accountability from a system of data reporting into a system for organizational learning and successful change.
