The UW System Equity Scorecard Pilot involves six volunteer UW institutions in a process of sustained inquiry, using disaggregated data to identify more refined pathways and strategies for eliminating inequities in educational opportunities and outcomes. The Equity Scorecard (EqS) is designed to foster institutional change in higher education. It seeks to foster educational excellence through closing the achievement gap for historically underrepresented students. Dr. Estela Bensimon and her team from the Center for Urban Education at the University of Southern California developed the Equity Scorecard when it became evident that equity, while valued, had not been explicitly measured in relation to educational outcomes for traditionally underserved and/or underrepresented students in higher education.
