Student activism is expected to rise this fall, and preparedness for campus unrest requires the attention of an institution’s cabinet, including the chief business officer. College and university leaders will be well served by efforts to better coordinate strategic responses to social unrest on their campuses before, during, and after specific incidents take place. During this webinar, Kara D. Freeman, NACUBO president and CEO, discusses with speakers the scope of the First Amendment, categories of unprotected speech, and practical considerations as they relate to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. Due diligence in preparation, including review of institutional policies and clearly communicating them to students, faculty, and campus constituencies, is crucial.
Learning Objectives
After this webinar, you will be able to—
- Identify practical considerations related to campus disruptions
- Understand Title VI and why it is relevant
- Explain how business officers and other cabinet members can collaborate to support success across the institution
