Abstract
Institutions of higher education have unsuccessfully sought to implement equity-based practices that aid in closing opportunity gaps for underserved student populations. Utilizing the perspective of the student affairs profession, the authors provide data-driven and anecdotal evidence of strategies educators can successfully utilize to interrogate university structure, norms, policies, and practices that are misaligned with institutional mission, vision, values, and strategic goals. This chapter explores the changing paradigm of higher education and discusses how university personnel can work collaboratively to address equity issues by practicing empathy and care to influence institutional culture.
