Given suspicions that a student has cheated in a course, one of the most common recommendations is that an instructor meets with the student to discuss those suspicions. No one wants this meeting. Guilty or innocent, no student wants to be accused of cheating. For the instructor, leveling accusations, even in the presence of stone-cold certainty, is almost equally unpleasant.

This blog post is for education leaders who wish that educator conferences were more equitable. For perspective, if everything was perfectly fair, when you go to an educator conference and looked at who was speaking, the keynote and featured speaker demographics would be representative of the people living in the areas they’re pulling from.
