DESCRIPTION:This session is designed to support faculty and Graduate Assistants in navigating the boundary between protected academic discourse and conduct that may give rise to discrimination. Building on prior discussions, this workshop offers a practical framework for recognizing and addressing potential “hostile environments,” with particular attention to discrimination based on race, color, and national origin (including shared ancestry).\n\n\n\nParticipants will explore strategies to maintain academic rigor while removing barriers to learning created by discriminatory conduct. Key topics include:\n\n\n\n A concise overview of Title VI and the legal standards for determining hostile environments, including severity and pervasiveness\n\n\n\nDistinguishing between teaching controversial subject matter and managing classroom interactions in ways that may be discriminatory\n\n\n\nApplying legal concepts to real-world classroom scenarios, with a focus on prevention and effective response strategies\n\n\nThis session is open to Faculty and Graduate Assistants across all disciplines who facilitate classroom discussions or oversee instructional environments involving sensitive or complex topics. Prior participation in earlier sessions is not required.
