In this thought-provoking volume, editors Rebecca M. Taylor and Ashley Floyd Kuntz invite readers to explore the many facets of on-campus ethical dilemmas and the careful, nuanced decision-making processes required to address them.

Praise

This book provides a refreshing scholarly contribution to the contextualized understandings needed to evolve higher education best practices from theory and data-driven decision-making to more expansive actions that facilitate equity mindfulness. The case studies are timely, insightful, and intentionally designed to highlight higher education complexities and serve as a guide to meet readers where they are on their equity journey. — Brandon L. Wolfe, assistant vice president of Campus and Community Engagement in the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the University of Alabama at Birmingham
