Panel Discussion: In the Face of Resistance: Advancing Equity in Higher Education
Monday, April 10
1 - 2:30 p.m.
Virtual
Over the years, the institutional policies, practices, and discourses surrounding affirmative action have changed drastically, and with the impending Supreme Court decision, there is renewed attention to this issue that continues to have a significant impact on how institutions of higher education work to forward diversity, equity, and inclusion on their campuses. In the wake of an impending Supreme Court decision on affirmative action, no matter the legal ramifications of this decision, institutions must be prepared to continue to lead in the face of resistance – whether legal or socio-political. This webinar will feature leaders and scholars who have experienced state-level affirmative action bans on how they responded and lessons learned.
Co-sponsored by the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education, and the University of Michigan's Center for Social Solutions, Democracy & Debate, and the NCID's Diversity Scholars Network and Anti-Racism Collaborative.
