About the event
Wednesday, April 9
9am PT/ 10am MDT/ 12pm ET
Come learn from a panel of experts at a variety of institutions about your roles, rights, and options for supporting students, staff, and colleagues in a time of rapid change and uncertainty. We'll consider specific advice for people in different positions within the academy; how to control what you can while continuing to foster diverse, dynamic, accessible, and inclusive intellectual communities; the role of tenured faculty and the role of staff, non-tenured faculty, and grad students as we navigate challenges to academic freedom, diversity, equity, and inclusion.
