Sorry, but I hate the word equity. It's been thoroughly lib washed. I had to sit through so many meetings where libs gestured at how important equity is without ever describing steps to achieve it.

It was really, in translation, "we'd really enjoy it if more brown people paid to enroll here"

Academia is a white supremacist institution think-about-it

The idea itself is good. Equity recognizes the varied needs of different groups. While I might share more in common with a worker who uses a wheelchair than a billionaire, the wheelchair user still faces accessibility issues that I don’t experience as an able bodied person. It’s reactionary to cry and scream when marginalized workers advocate for their unique interests.

Wholeheartedly agree. My issue is that at my workplaces, it's always just been a corporate buzzword rather than an actionable goal.
