Educational equity: A democratic principle at a crossroads

The Urban Review Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

This is an examination of the criteria for determining if equitable education occurs through desegregation and the effects of other educational programs on these criteria—access, participation, and outcomes. Equity in access may not provide equity in either participation or outcome. Other federal educational policies may interfere with the achievement of equitable education by all three criteria.
