Chancellor Cantor's Remarks on Equity in Higher Education, Delivered at National Webinar in Spring

In April, Rutgers-Newark Chancellor Nancy Cantor delivered opening remarks for a national webinar held at the University of Michigan’s Center for Social Solutions titled, “In the Face of Resistance: Advancing Equity in Higher Education.’’

Cantor’s remarks offered a historical framing of affirmative action through two themes: "equity as reparative justice…and diversity as beneficial for all.”  She emphasized the public’s responsibility to make diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives move forward, despite the political climate and shifting laws and policies.

Her remarks can be found on the center's website here.
