“explore, identify and compare strategies that widen access and participation by vulnerable and underrepresented student groups in five gateway cities—two in Canada (Toronto, Vancouver), two in the United States (Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago) and one in England ( London). Vulnerable and underrepresented student groups will include those with special needs, underrepresented racial, ethnic, immigrant and lower socioeconomic status groups. The gateway cities selected provide meaningful national and international comparisons of equity issues related to select vulnerable and underrepresented student groups.
