About This Episode
Learn more about the role that campus diversity, equity, and inclusion offices can play in managing campus protests.
Questions addressed during the podcast include:
- How does the office balance principles of free speech and academic freedom with values of inclusion, safety, and order on campus, and deciding how to address this conflict when raised?
- Why is having a diversity professional at the highest administrative level important?
- What work remains to be done to advance efforts to create more inclusive environments on college campuses?
Among those who should listen: Administrators, Student Affairs professionals, and Legal Counsel.
Moderated by Kimberly Cole, Attorney, United Educators.
Note: As of October 2023, several states have instituted laws that ban or restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at public institutions. Similar legislation is pending in other states. Please consult legal counsel to determine applicable law in your state and determine the extent to which DEI courses, offices, language, or initiatives are allowable at your institution.
