A scoping review protocol of anti-racism programs and practices in higher education: Implications for developing interventions to advance equity
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In the United States and Canada, racism continues to persist in higher education systems. Hate violence and racial trauma on campuses are significant barriers to health and well-being, particularly for Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). Additionally, higher education systems often fail to successfully bridge achievement gaps to facilitate the success of BIPOC. This protocol describes a scoping review of anti-racism efforts through higher education programs and practices from 1950 to 2022. No previous scoping reviews have been identified that illustrate anti-racist organizational programs and practices in higher education settings. This scoping review protocol aims to identify and map the characteristics of anti-racism programs and practices (occurring at the organizational level) in higher education settings throughout the United States and Canada. A systematic search will be conducted using nine electronic databases, with date limits from 1950 to 2022: Academic Search Ultimate (Ebscohost), ERIC (Ebscohost), APA PsycINFO (Ebscohost), Medline (OVID), Dissertations & Theses Global (ProQuest), Social Services Abstracts (ProQuest), Social Work Abstracts (Ebscohost), Sociological Abstracts (ProQuest) and Scopus (Elsevier). Reference lists of documents included in data charting will be searched. The scoping review will follow guidance from the most recent 2020 version of the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis and PRISMA reporting guidelines for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Two reviewers will perform full-text screening of preselected studies independently to select studies according to inclusion criteria. Covidence will be used to upload search results, screen abstracts and full text study reports. Data will be extracted, and findings and characteristics synthesized in a narrative summary. Additionally, frequency counts of concepts, populations, and characteristics will be presented. Our scoping review will be the first to map anti-racism programs and practices in higher education. It is anticipated the findings will interest policymakers, researchers, and higher education practitioners concerned about creating interventions aimed at improving social, economic, and environmental factors which shape health equity and empower underrepresented communities towards increased educational attainment.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
