Training Overview

Your 2022–23 Campus Speakers: Too controversial?

This academic year, colleges and universities across the nation have already hosted controversial speakers, faced student protests, and struggled to create climates that welcome conflicting views without creating conflict. Protecting students from hate while adhering to laws permitting free speech is a duty all institutions must fulfill.
