Equity in Times Like These

2026 Equity Conference - SESSION 6A: Equity in Times Like These Dr. Treya Allen | University of Arizona & Pima Community College Two years ago, equity was a part of a tri-part phrase that was placed in front of everything from learning outcomes, student experience, and retention. Then the world changed, calling into question the necessity and value of equity and equitable practices, leaving many to question if equity was possible and would equitable practices make personnel, spaces and places targets for adverse consequences. Even in all of the surrounding change, there remains a call to honor and implement equity as a human good verses marketing tagline. This session will help individual imagine and implement what equity looks like and its role in various spaces and place- regardless of the individuals professional role.
