California State University at Monterey Bay now offers a course in "Equity," requiring students to produce "an informed historical interpretation and analysis of contemporary issues of struggles for power as related to the oppression of various racial, cultural, social, and economic groups of people in the U.S." To satisfy the requirement students must demonstrate "an understanding of culture and cultural diversity; an understanding of social, political, and cultural tensions among various groups in the U.S.; a understanding of the different and unequal treatment of people of color, females, gays and lesbians, the poor, and others from historically oppressed groups in the U.S.; an understanding of strategies and policies such as affirmative action which are intended to address inequities in institutions such as schools, governmental agencies, and businesses; how you, the student, have worked towards building a more inclusive and equitable society."
