Making “Race Talk” a Routine Practice on College Campuses

Dr. Bensimon is a Distinguished Professor of Higher Education at the USC Rossier School of Education and Co-Director of the Center for Urban Education, which she founded in 1999.

Dr. Bensimon developed the Equity Scorecard as a result of her unwavering focus on increasing equity in higher education outcomes for students of color. The scorecard process takes a strengths-based approach that empowers faculty, administrators, and staff as “researchers” into their own practices. The ultimate goal is not just marginal changes in policy or practice, but a campus-wide shift towards cultures of inclusion and broad ownership over racial equity.
