What is Equity?

Equity is fairness and impartiality toward all concerned, based on the principles
of evenhanded dealing. Equity implies giving as much advantage, consideration,
or latitude to one party as it is given to another. Along with the economy, effectiveness, and
efficiency, equity is essential for ensuring that the extent and costs of funds, goods, and
services are fairly divided among their recipients.
