Decolonizing Equity
Institutions everywhere seem to be increasingly aware of their roles in settler colonialism and anti-Black racism.As such, many racialized workers find themselves tasked with developing equity plans for their departments, associations or faculties.This collection acknowledges this work as both survival and burden for Black, Indigenous and racialized peoples.It highlights what we already know and are already doing in our respective areas and offers a vision of what equity can look like through a decolonial lens.What helps us to make this work possible? How do we take care with ourselves and each other in this work?What does solidarity, collaboration or "allyship" look like in decolonial equity work?What are the implicit and explicit barriers we face in shifting equity discourse, policy and practice, and what strategies, skills and practices can help us in creating environments and lived realities of decolonial equity?This edited collection centres the voices of Indigenous, Black and other racialized peoples in articulating a vision for decolonial equity work.Specifically, the focus on decolonizing equity is an invitation to re-articulate what equity work can look like when we refuse to separate ideas of equity from the historical and contemporary realities of colonialism in the settler colonial nation states known as Canada and the United States and when we insist on linking an equity agenda to the work of decolonizing our shared realities.

Ethically Challenged : Private Equity Storms US Health Care
Revealing the dark truth about the impact of predatory private equity firms on American health care. Won Gold from the Axiom Book Award in the Category of Business Ethics, the Benjamin Franklin Awards by the Independent Book Publishers Association and the North American Book Award in the Catergory of Business Finance, Finalist of the American Book Fest Best Book Social Change and Current Events by the American Book FestPrivate equity (PE) firms pervade all aspects of our modern lives.Unlike other corporations, which generally manufacture products or provide services, they leverage considerable debt and other people's money to buy and sell businesses with the sole aim of earning supersized profits in the shortest time possible.With a voracious appetite and trillions of dollars at its disposal, the private equity industry is now buying everything from your opioid treatment center to that helicopter that helps swoop you up from a car crash site.It may even control how and when you can get your kidney dialysis.In Ethically Challenged, Laura Katz Olson describes how PE firms are gobbling up physician and dental practices; home care and hospice agencies; substance abuse, eating disorder, and autism services; urgent care facilities; and emergency medical transportation.With a sharp eye on cost and quality of care, Olson investigates the PE industry's impact on these essential services.She explains how PE firms pile up massive debt on their investment targets and how they bleed these enterprises with assorted fees and dividends for themselves.Throughout, she argues that public pension funds, which provide the preponderance of equity for PE buyouts, tend to ignore the pesky fact that their money may be undermining the very health care system their workers and retirees rely on. Weaving together insights from interviews with business owners and experts, newspaper articles, purchased data sets, and industry publications, Olson offers a unique perspective and appreciation of the significance of PE investments in health care.The first book to comprehensively address private equity and health care, Ethically Challenged raises the curtain on an industry notorious for its secrecy, exposing the nefarious side of its maneuvers.

How is equity calculated?
Equity is calculated by subtracting the total liabilities of a company from its total assets. In other words, equity represents the ownership interest in a company's assets after all debts and obligations have been paid off. It is a measure of the company's net worth and is often used by investors and analysts to assess the financial health and value of a company. Equity can also be calculated for individuals by subtracting their total liabilities (such as mortgages, loans, and credit card debt) from their total assets (such as savings, investments, and property).

What is equity capital?
Equity capital refers to the funds that a company raises by selling shares of ownership in the business. These shares represent ownership in the company and entitle the shareholders to a portion of the company's profits and a say in its decision-making processes. Equity capital is a crucial source of long-term funding for a company and can be raised through the sale of common stock or preferred stock. Unlike debt capital, equity capital does not need to be repaid and does not accrue interest, but it does dilute the ownership stake of existing shareholders.

'Equity type or legal type?'
Equity type refers to the ownership structure of a company, indicating whether it is publicly traded or privately held. Legal type, on the other hand, refers to the legal structure of a business entity, such as a corporation, partnership, or sole proprietorship. While equity type focuses on ownership, legal type is concerned with the legal rights and responsibilities of the entity. Both equity type and legal type are important considerations when determining the structure and governance of a business.
-
What is the accumulated equity?
The accumulated equity is the total value of an asset after subtracting any liabilities or debts associated with it. It represents the ownership interest or value that an individual or entity has in the asset. Accumulated equity can increase over time as the asset appreciates in value or as debts are paid off, resulting in a higher net worth for the owner. It is an important measure of financial health and can be used to determine the overall value of an investment or property.

How can one improve equity?
One can improve equity by addressing systemic barriers and biases that contribute to inequality. This can be achieved through policies and practices that promote equal access to opportunities, resources, and representation for all individuals, regardless of their background.

How does depreciation affect equity?
Depreciation reduces the value of assets on the balance sheet, which in turn reduces the overall equity of the company. This is because equity is calculated as the difference between a company's assets and liabilities. As the value of assets decreases due to depreciation, the overall equity of the company also decreases. This can impact the financial health of the company and its ability to attract investors or secure financing.

What is the difference between equal opportunities, equity of opportunity, and equity of achievement?
Equal opportunities refers to the idea that everyone should have the same access to opportunities, resources, and rights regardless of their background or circumstances. Equity of opportunity goes a step further, aiming to ensure that everyone has the support and resources they need to have an equal chance of success, taking into account individual differences and barriers. Equity of achievement focuses on ensuring that everyone has the same chance of achieving success, regardless of their starting point, and aims to address and eliminate disparities in outcomes. In summary, while equal opportunities focuses on access, equity of opportunity and equity of achievement focus on addressing and eliminating disparities in support and outcomes.
