ABSTRACT: This publication contains the two keynote
presentations from the National Equity Colloquium and a
synthesis of papers on equity from multidisciplinary
perpectives. In "The Future of Educational Equity" Shirley
D. McCune focuses on three questions of importance in
developing strategies to gain equity: (1) What is the
current concept of educational equity and how may this need
be modified? (2) What are trends in society and education
that provide a context for seeking equity? and (3) What are
tasks that must be accomplished to continue the search for
educational equity? In "The Justice of Equity" Samuel D.
Proctor discusses bases for belief in the dignity of
persons; five stages of development--disintegration,
survival and acculturation, alienation, lawsuits, and
reintegration; and implications for education, including
professionalism and vicariousness. The overview, "Equity and
Vocational Education: Guidelines for the 1980s," synthesizes
17 papers about equity and vocational education from three
major perspectives: selected academic disciplines,
vocational education, and special interest group advocacy.
It describes a concept of equity and examines the current
status of equity in vocational education by focusing on
eight commonly agreed upon problems and issues.
Recommendations for the future are then explored. Brief
summaries of the papers conclude the publication. (YLB)
