Powered by Publics Equity Roundtables: A Guide for Universities

This guidebook offers an approach to understanding and centering the lived experiences of students from low-income and minoritized identities as they progress along their journey to a college degree. Universities that wish to achieve equitable student outcomes may consider using this approach as one of several that will inform and catalyze action toward meeting these students' unique needs. Roundtable events, if done with intention and care, can contribute to increased student trust and a campus climate of inclusion, transparency, and accountability. Senior administrators can use the data and insights generated by these events to make substantive, equity-first policy changes. The suggestions in this guide will help university leaders plan, implement, and sustain momentum in inclusive ways. It is APLU's hope that more public universities will test this approach on their campuses as a way to discover student-posed solutions to barriers that prevent access, progression, and completion toward a college degree. [This guidebook was produced in partnership with Changing Perspectives.]
