Equity Matters explores the causes and consequences of educational inequality and policies to address it. The vast majority of Americans believe that students deserve equal access to a quality education. However, our public schools exhibit socioeconomic, racial, and geographic inequality which leaves many students behind. Please join us for quarterly conversations about inequality in our public schools and how we can make our education system work for every student.

    Ep. 4: Affirmative Action is a Successful Policy

    The Supreme Court has upheld the use of affirmative action in college admissions numerous times, but the Court may end the practice this summer when it renders its decisions in challenges to the use of affirmative action by Harvard University and the University of North Carolina. A question frequently raised about affirmative action is whether racial and ethnic minority students who benefit from affirmative action are successful in the academically demanding context of selective colleges. Amy Lutz, a sociologist at Syracuse University's Maxwell School, discusses resent research she and her colleagues have published addressing this question. Dr. Lutz also discusses other issues related to affirmative action and makes an appeal to the Supreme Court justices to affirm the legitimacy of race conscious admission policies.

    Ep. 3: Race and School Spending

    Bob Bifulco and Sarah Souders join to discuss their latest research on racial disparities in school poverty and spending. They find that the typical Black and Hispanic student is exposed to nearly twice the rate of school poverty compared to the typical White student. In addition, cost-adjusted spending in the typical Black and Hispanic students’ schools is only 88% of that in the average white student’s school. Hosted/edited/mixed by Tyler Bond.

    Ep. 2: Teacher Racial Bias w/Ying Shi & Maria Zhu

    Ying Shi and Maria Zhu join to discuss their cutting-edge research on teacher racial & ethnic bias. They find that teachers systematically rate Black and Hispanic students less favorably than White and Asian students, even among students with identical test scores. In addition, the presence of any Asian student in the classroom exacerbates pre-existing teacher biases. This suggests that the “model minority” stereotype can negatively impact other minority groups despite its positive connotation. Hosted by Bob Bifulco, Director of the Program on Educational Equity & Policy (PEEPs) at Syracuse University. Edited/mixed by Tyler Bond.
