It was a pleasure and honor to participate in this discussion.
At #ACEx2025, @FredMLawrence, @PhiBetaKappa CEO, described the need for "vigorous civility" and what we can do to get there in a conversation with @AAIUSA President @jjz1600 and Dartmouth College professor Susannah Heschel on promoting respectful dialogue on campus.

It was a honor to be part of this important project that I hope will be of use to campuses this fall.
As campuses brace for a potentially challenging fall, @FredMLawrence, Steve Dunham, & Steven Healy offer insights on constructive engagement, crisis management, and using protests as an educational opportunity. Essential reading for #highered leaders.
