What is the Equity Rubric? 

The rubric includes a tool for assessing 8 key areas for integrating and leading global programs with an equity lens.

In an increasingly interconnected world, the significance of global student programs transcends traditional academic boundaries. These programs not only offer unparalleled opportunities for academic enrichment but also serve as powerful catalysts for personal growth, cultural understanding, and the development of a global mindset. However, the effectiveness and impact of these programs hinge upon the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Recognizing the imperative to create global learning environments that are accessible and enriching for all students, Global Academics Equity Rubric for Global Programs ® aims to evaluate the level of equity in global student/study abroad programs across various essential components. A truly informed perspective goes beyond academic knowledge; it encompasses an understanding of diverse cultures, histories, and perspectives. By infusing equity, diversity, and inclusion into the fabric of these programs, we cultivate informed perspectives that are not only academically enriching but socially, psychologically, and culturally robust.
