(Alumni Board) EQUITY: Equity exists as a condition that balances two dimensions: fairness and inclusion.

Equitable treatment involves eliminating barriers that prevent the full participation of all individuals. Equity is not equality; it is the expression of justice and the absence of discrimination. by Kelly Teagarden
