Following intense, sometimes violent protests on college campuses last spring, colleges are taking new steps to encourage more civil dialogue and debate among students who disagree. Some schools are offering new guidance and coursework around how students should speak to one another in an effort to bridge deep differences. At the same time, colleges are tightening restrictions on campus protests related to the war in Gaza, and cracking down on protest tactics with heightened enforcement. We’ll explore the new approaches and talk with experts about the efforts to help students speak across their differences.

“College Uncovered” is made possible by Lumina Foundation.
