Preparing The Diversity Action Plans

January 3, 2017
8:30am - 11:30am
EMU Cedar & Spruce Rooms

Presented by Frank & Leslie García

The workshop will be an interactive session for university leadership providing presentation, small group and large group discussion for Deans, Vice Presidents and Directors. The focus is on racial equity in both the domestic and international contexts, racial bias and disparities from an institutional rather than an individual perspective. 

The three and one-half workshop will include presentations and discussions on the history of racial inequity nationally, internationally and in Oregon, the concept of equity vs. equality, and implicit bias from an individual and institutional perspective.  It will close with scenarios that participants will work-through using an equity lens in order to understand how to continue to consider equity within their individual schools and colleges.

Hate Speech, Hate Conduct, and Hate Crime:  What is it, and how do we respond?

January 25, 2017
2:30pm - 4:30pm
EMU Redwood Room (EMU 214)

Presented by John Haroldson

In this presentation I examine the concepts of hate speech, hate conduct, and hate crime, and discuss strategic responses for constructive accountability.  Participants will gain an understanding of what constitutes hate crime under Oregon law, and what the consequences are for those who are convicted of engaging in such criminal conduct.  Participants will also examine their strategic options for action when confronted with hate speech, hate conduct, and hate crime.
