This report assesses the progress of the higher education system towards the equity objectives set out in A Fair Chance for All. There have been improvements in participation for a number of the designated equity groups and these successes have been the result of removal of most of the obvious barriers to participation by disadvantaged groups. However, inequalities still exist and the qualitative data on equity structures and practices in universities suggest that there is still a need for change in order to achieve a higher incidence of good equity practice across the sector. A number of recommendations and a detailed strategic plan for the pursuit of equity for the next five years are provided
