It would be useful to have a definition for the term "equity." In the past a list of definitions has been included for other words/phrases. If a definition for equity is not possible in the context used perhaps a different word or phrase could be substituted. In webinars and trainings I have heard the phrase "apple to apples, oranges to oranges" and also different term uses for equity analysis such as "disproportional" or "disparate." While it may not be advantageous to always have a succinct term it could provide clarification of intent. Thank you.
