Concluding remarks
Historically, academia has lacked in diversity and equality of opportunities due to an unfair process through which academic institutions select and distribute goods. I proposed that integrating the body of literature in human developmental ecology with the theory of justice by John Rawls creates a novel framework that addresses the unfairness in academia. This framework can be implemented in other contexts, such as in the job selection for industry and (non-)governmental position. I am aware that the framework in this paper is likely to encounter fierce criticism and may, ultimately, be render useless and abandoned. Thus, I hope that the framework proposed here generates debates that ultimately leads to an academic environment with fair equality of opportunities to all.
