Making Equitable Decisions
This checklist was developed as a practical tool to support equitable decision making across policies, practices, guidelines, and other institutional documents.
Its purpose is to
- provide a consistent framework for evaluating materials through an equity-focused lens;
- help identify and address potential biases in institutional decision making;
- limit the unintended impacts of institutional practices on marginalized or underrepresented community members.
By incorporating the checklist into standard workflows, individuals and teams can be more intentional in centering equity in their decision-making processes.
