Racial Equity Work Is Everybody’s Work

Dr. Jeffrey Hines, Chief Diversity Officer at UConn Health and Dr. Tia Brown McNair, Vice President in the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Student Success and Executive Director for the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT)™ Campus Centers at the American Association of Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) draw on key ideas from the TRHT framework to shed light on how racial equity work is not solely the responsibility of a few, but rather, the responsibility of all community members. We discuss racial disparities in health and education,  as major public health concerns that require the active participation of multiple community stakeholders working towards a shared vision of transformation in higher education.
