Access to and Equity in Higher Education

The University World News issued a special report on access of higher education by poor, disabled, indigenous, and migrant young people. The series of articles address the access and equity situation in the US, UK, France, Greece, Australia, South Africa, and Spain, focusing primarily on government policy in each case study.

Besides the government, the other crucial actor in the access and equity debate is, of course, the universities themselves.

Tell us: what responsibility do you think universities have in ensuring accessibility to low-income and marginalized groups? What steps can they take to open their doors to these groups? What success stories can we point to as examples of best practices?
