Advancing Educational Equity through Social Action Research: A Collaborative Effort between Universities and Schools.
Fergus, Esther Onago; Wilson, C. Dwayne
Equity and Excellence, v24 n2 p38-45 Win 1989

Academicians can assume the role of external change agents in addressing such educational equity issues as student dropouts. Collaboration should include a humanitarian basis, a problem focus, and a multidisciplinary action orientation. (AF)
