DAY 2: EQUITY VS. EQUALITY
The words equality and equity are often used interchangeably to describe a condition of fairness that we hope to achieve in our society. However, there are key differences in these concepts to consider as we challenge ourselves to think more deeply about race.
Equality means providing the same resources and opportunities for everyone, regardless of their circumstances. Equity means meeting the differing needs of people by providing resources and opportunities specific to those needs.
While both equality and equity aim for fairness, equality treats people as if they are the same while equity recognizes that treating people as if they are the same does not mean treating them fairly. In fact, equity can mean providing more resources to a group that has been disadvantaged by circumstances beyond their control.
For example, a school board might deem it fair to allot the same amount of funding to each school in a city, even though each school’s demographics and academic outcomes differ. This could be considered part of an equal opportunity for education, but it is not necessarily fair. An equitable approach would allot more funding to schools with high numbers of low-income students and students of color, who have been disproportionately underserved by our education system.
In short, equality cannot be achieved without equity. Providing the same resources and opportunities to a diverse population can only be fair if we actively work to remove barriers that prevent people of color and other marginalized groups from fully benefiting from these resources and opportunities.
