The goal of the article is to explore the issue of equity in access to higher education (HE) for special needs andsocially deprived students, give a vivid picture of education policy discourse in the system of higher education andshow the importance of defending the principles of social justice in order to ensure inclusion for vulnerable groups.The overview of the Georgian legislation including the law of Georgia on higher education is of vital importance tosee the statutory responsibilities towards socially disadvantaged groups. The analysis of the Georgian highereducation system alongside the admission system is vital to understand whether it serves and meets society’s needsand demands in terms of social justice and to generalize the factors that work either as incentives or impedimentsfor socially deprived and special needs students to get a fair access to higher education.

Youth Organizing

In this piece, we share some insights gleaned from oral histories of immigrant organizers involved in New Jersey state campaigns for access to higher education, weaving them with scholarly personal narratives (Nash & Viray, 2013) from the authors on their own youth organizing and/or experience working in an undocumented student support center. We are guided by the following questions: (1) How do New Jersey immigrant organizers make meaning of and create spaces of hope and home through their organizing? (2) What propels this work and sustains it across cohorts of organizers? We discuss five general areas in response: the experience of invisibility and organizing efforts that aim to counter it, the co-construction of homespaces within higher education institutions, the importance of (re)setting narratives, celebrating wins while pressing for more, and the intergenerational work that inspires and sustains change. We close the article with reflections on the ways in which formal and everyday organizing are acts of love and care, from which home is collectively built.

Equity In Access

Abstract The principle of equity traditionally means that equals should be treated equally and unequals should be treated unequally. Applied to higher education, that principle implies that institutions should grant access to aspiring students based on their demonstrated motivation and ability to take advantage of such education. However, neither a standard inherent-desert nor a social-value argument succeed in providing a moral justification for the equity principle for access to higher education. Therefore, it is argued that the principle of equality in access to higher education, according to which no aspiring student may be denied such access, is more morally justified than the principle of equity in access.
