The Student Equity in Higher Education Evaluation Framework (SEHEEF) and its relevance in the context of the Australian Universities Accord
Mark Robinson, Wojtek Tomaszewski, Melissa Johnstone, Denise Clague, Tomasz Zając, Jenny Povey and Caroline Salom, 2025
Despite substantial investment, evaluating HEPPP’s effectiveness remains challenging, with a 2017 evaluation unable to reach definitive conclusions due to inconsistent data. In response, the Student Equity in Higher Education Evaluation Framework (SEHEEF) was developed to provide a robust tool for measuring the impact of equity initiatives. This paper outlines SEHEEF’s key elements, its potential to build stronger evidence for equity programs at the university and national level, and its key implementation challenges.
