Leaders Speaking Out: When and How

Tuesday, December 6
12 p.m. ET | 9 a.m. PT
Premium virtual event
   
  
Deep polarization in this country has raised the stakes higher than ever for campus leaders who might consider weighing in or taking a stand on any issue. Under competing demands, when do you invoke or preserve institutional neutrality? When and how do you respond to current events and endorse or denounce certain ideas?

This conversation among premium subscribers will be meeting-style. Here is the agenda:

12:00 p.m. — Q&A on recent Chronicle survey data from college presidents about speaking out

12:10 p.m. — Q&A on the conditions for taking a stance

12:30 p.m. — Peer-led breakout discussions to share advice (off the record)


Join us to discuss with fellow higher-ed leaders:
  • What guidelines prove useful in deciding whether to take a position on a contested issue
  • Different forms of speaking out
  • Weighing expectations for controversy
  • Responding to constituents’ competing demands
