Miscarriage in Higher Education: Systemic Harms, Accountability, and Institutional Response

By: Okpala, Peterchris V.

Higher education offers opportunity and social mobility, yet its structures can also produce and sustain systemic harms that affect marginalized students, staff, and faculty. From inequitable funding models and exclusionary campus climates to unclear governance and limited avenues for correction, these institutions may fall short of their commitments to equity and inclusion. Examining higher education through the lens of systemic harm reveals how deeply embedded practices, rather than isolated incidents, shape unequal outcomes. This perspective underscores the need for stronger accountability mechanisms and more intentional institutional responses that prioritize transparency, equity, and the well-being of the academic community. Miscarriage in Higher Education: Systemic Harms, Accountability, and Institutional Response examines how higher education institutions systemically disrupt, complicate, or end students' academic careers. It explores ethical accountability as a response to these harms and failures. This book covers topics such as career development, instructional quality, and educational accessibility, and is a useful resource for educators, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
