The 3rd annual Illinois Higher Education Symposium at SIU Carbondale is open for registration to faculty, staff and students in higher education. The symposium aims to provide a platform for participants from all over the state to engage in meaningful discussions and share their experiences on how to promote equity in higher education. The event will provide opportunities for participants to gain a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by underrepresented groups in higher education and implement strategies to reduce harm and dismantle inequitable structures.
SIU defines equity as “act right, make right, and do right.”
One of the goals of equity at SIU and in higher education is to eliminate disparities in educational outcomes among diverse groups of students. This includes reducing the institutional achievement gap, increasing access to higher education by providing financial aid and support services, and creating a welcoming environment for underrepresented students. It is important to continue to address inequities in higher education to ensure that all students have access to a quality education.
