ACE and American University hosted an interactive learning
experience focused on taking action on the intersecting issues of race and
crisis management in higher education. The foundation for this experience is a
three-year study of the racial crisis that took place at the University of
Missouri in 2015-16, and of the resulting lessons learned by the campus
community. In the recording, you will hear from researchers and campus leaders
about their experiences navigating this crisis, and how they
applied lessons learned over the last five years to manage their institutional
response to COVID-19. You will also
learn from scholars and practitioners looking forward to consider the evolving
landscape of diversity, equity, and inclusion as campuses prepare for the fall term
and beyond.
