Higher education across the globe is being called upon to play a transformational role in equity, diversity, and inclusion in the 21st century. Against a backdrop of bias and violence towards racial and ethnic groups, a global pandemic, economic downturns, and climate challenges, many ask: What is the role of higher education with addressing these challenges? *
