Four students at Purdue University examined this claim: “Equality of outcome is more important than equality of opportunity.”

The participants quickly land on two lines: Disagree and Strongly Disagree. They tease out various ideas embedded in the claim, including social vestiges of oppression, creating a level playing field, merit, insincere outcomes, and opportunity creation. While these students are in general agreement regarding the importance of opportunity, their points of divergence reveal the complex relationship between opportunity and outcome.

This conversation was filmed at Purdue University on April 16, 2022.
