Fairness Audits of Institutional Risk Models in Deployed ML Pipelines

arXiv:2604.19468v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Fairness audits of institutional risk models are critical for understanding how deployed machine learning pipelines allocate resources. Drawing on multi-year collaboration with Centennial College, where our prior ethnographic work introduced the ASP-HEI Cycle, we present a replica-based audit of a deployed Early Warning System (EWS), replicating its model using institutional training data and design specifications. We evaluate disparities by gend
