The American Council on Education, in partnership with the University of Southern California, produced a series of reports that provide critical information for understanding, implementing, and being successful in Shared Equity Leadership. As we know, institutional transformation occurs when leadership emphasizes the critical role of centering equity as a priority and connecting practices to structures and processes, especially during times of uncertainty. Shared equity leadership provides advancement leaders a unique opportunity to scale their equity work by organizing teams across the division to take collective responsibility for developing and moving diversity and inclusion priorities forward.
