Center for Public Deliberation Hosting Zoom Event Oct. 19
‘Free Speech and the Inclusive Campus’
The College of Humanities & Social Sciences’ Center for Public Deliberation is hosting the Zoom deliberation, “Free Speech and the Inclusive Campus,” 11 a.m.-1 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 19.
Join 2022 election candidates, community members, students, faculty, staff, and administration for the virtual discussion on this critical issue, which will include five rounds of small group breakout sessions to consider the following:
- Are free speech and an inclusive campus in opposition to each other? Do we have to give up one to have the other?
- What are our roles in creating the community we want?
Note: Students who actively participate by contributing to discussion in each round either through text, chat, or having their camera turned on (nonverbal participation) will be entered in a raffle for prizes.
In preparation of the event, participants are encouraged to download and read the Issue Guide.
