First published in 2000, this volume is an analysis of equality issues in higher education, focusing on challenges such as making equality a central concern, seeking an overarching framework to ensure that equality is interpreted in a more comprehensive and systematic way and accepting that acknowledging the 'needs' of specific groups of students must be combined with educating everyone about their responsibilities in respect of inequality.
