Justice is necessary because injustice exists. Racial discrimination; economic inequality; health care disparities; and inadequate access to quality education, healthy food and transportation are just some of the issues.
When we know what injustices exist, we can work to dismantle the systems that perpetuate injustice and create a fair, more equitable society.
Our ambition at Augustana College is to promote the social change necessary to remediate the inequities that we see because of racial disparities.
Augustana recognized for commitment to diversity
In 2024, Augustana College received its fifth Higher Education Excellence in Diversity (HEED) Award from INSIGHT Into Diversity magazine, the oldest and largest diversity-focused publication in higher education.
