NEW
YORK, May 3, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- With the
backdrop of Congressional testimonies from university presidents
and rising identity-based hate and violence on campus, the 2024
presidential election is front of mind for colleges and
universities across the nation.
"Rather than a crisis that needs
mitigating, the election can serve as a platform for reinforcing
the core values of a campus culture that celebrates
differences."
In response to this heightened political climate in higher
education, the Constructive Dialogue Institute (CDI) released a
free, comprehensive guidebook: "Maintaining Campus Community During
the 2024 Election."
The report features insights from conversations with 21 college
presidents, administrators, faculty, and staff about their
experiences managing their campuses' responses to past elections
and their approach to the 2024 election. The report also
synthesizes an extensive secondary review of lessons learned from
past elections. By collating the experiences of subject matter
experts and university educators in various roles, CDI hopes to
share knowledge about what works to contain campus conflict and
transform discourse.
"The presidential election is a touchstone ritual of democracy
that offers an opportunity to encourage students to be thoughtful,
engaged citizens," said Mary Aviles,
one of the lead authors of the guide. "Rather than a crisis that
needs mitigating, the election can serve as a platform for
reinforcing the core values of a campus culture that celebrates
differences."
