ABSTRACT: Equity, diversity and inclusion is a topic that has risen in the ranks of importance and recognition from a societal standpoint. When peering down the various avenues present in education such as curriculum development, analyzing standardized testing, mental health in education, research in education, educational policy, and education development, a recurrent theme that can be highlighted, is that of equity, diversity, and inclusion. Though research effort is shown on equity, diversity and inclusion in academic settings, there is limited research highlighting its connection to academic leadership. This paper conducts a review and analysis of relevant literature to offer quantitative findings, and development suggestions for fostering the relationship between academic leadership and equity, diversity and inclusion.
