"Equality, not equity: Equality means all have equal chances to perform as well as their ability allows. Equity means outcome (awards) are divided equally independent of skill level but based on 'representation.' They are not synonymous."
This is a great point. I used "equity" in the article because that's what the "fairness in sports" people use. Dictionaries define this as "freedom from bias or favoritism" and "lack of favoritism toward one side or another"
