EDUCATION AT  \nThis year has been pivotal for American democracy and higher education, both grappling with crises of confidence, declining participation and trust, increased polarization, and uncertainties about their futures. These issues intensified following the Israel-Hamas conflict in October 2023, dominating media coverage with reports of campus protests, debates surrounding free speech, and heightened concerns about student safety.  \nAt the start of the 2023–24 academic year, 15 college presidents from a diverse array of institutions came together to launch College Presidents for Civic Preparedness. They committed to advancing critical inquiry, free expression, and civil discourse on campuses across the country. By the end of the spring semester, their numbers had grown to 77 (and counting) . Presidents initiated a range of activities, including new courses, dialogue dinners, events, speeches, and free expression campaigns—many of which are detailed in this progress report.  \nNow, the coalition is ready to scale in both its membership and its impact.  \nEvery institution aims to help all students, not just those who opt in, engage in civil discourse. What sets this approach apart is the combination of skill-building with the motivation and social permission needed for constructive conversations. This ensures that students carry these abilities with them beyond campus, into their jobs, and throughout their communities.  \nThe impact will be visible across campus—in lecture halls and dining halls, labs and event spaces, administrative offices, and student lounges. By the end of the upcoming academic year, 20% of the coalition aims to reach every student on campus, renewing their campuses into vibrant hubs of civil discourse!  \nLearn more about next steps towards this goal.  \nAs presidents gear up for the new academic year, they remain mindful of ongoing societal unrest, particularly with an approaching election season. However, this moment calls for envisioning democracy and campus life at their best—demanding a more equitable, humane way to engage with one another. It’s challenging yet essential work, crucial for both higher education and democracy’s future.  \nWhile the work has only just begun, I’m pleased to share the consortium’s progress so far. The momentum of College Presidents for Civic Preparedness—especially in such a difficult year for higher education—is truly inspiring.  \nRaj Vinnakota, President  \nInstitute for Citizens & Scholars  \n3 | PROGRESS REPORT  \nA CRITICAL CROSSROADS  \nAUGUST 2023  \nPublic launch of College Presidents for Civic Preparedness  \nFaculty Institute convening at Duke University  \nFALL 2023  \nCollege presidents kick off academic year with Campus Call for Free Expression, earning national media coverage  \nOCTOBER 2023   \nIsrael-Hamas war, igniting campus protests, debates and boycotts  \nDECEMBER 2023  \nFirst congressional hearing with presidents addressing accusations of antisemitism on college campuses  \nJANUARY 2024   \nAnnual convening at Howard University  \nAPRIL 2024  \nCoalition opens up to all presidents Measurement Working Group convening at the Johns Hopkins University and Georgetown University First Confidential Forum for Presidents  \nMAY 2024  \nSecond congressional hearing with presidents addressing accusations of antisemitism on college campuses  \nJUNE 2024  \nFaculty Institute convening at Rutgers University  \nSecond Confidential Forum for Presidents  \nCollege Presidents for Civic Preparedness is preparing students to participate in our dynamic, diverse, and often contentious society.  \nCOMMON GOAL  \nThe coalition’s current priority is advancing civil discourse, ensuring every student learns to seek diverse perspectives, engage constructively, and confidently express views, even amid disa","cbCaibTZp2GmZtXY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibTZp2GmZtXY","pdf",17516013,"English","# A Critical Crossroads\n## August 2023 to June 2024 Milestones\n# Common Goal\n## Advancing Civil Discourse\n# Collective Action\n## Civic Commitments Blueprint\n# Collaboration\n## Regular Convenings and Support\n# Coalition by the Numbers\n## Presidents, States, and Student Reach","[{\"question\":\"What is the main purpose of the coalition in this progress report?\",\"answer\":\"The coalition prioritizes advancing civil discourse so every student can seek diverse perspectives, engage constructively, and express views confidently even amid disagreements.\"},{\"question\":\"How did the coalition grow from the start of the 2023–24 academic year to June 2024?\",\"answer\":\"It began with 15 college presidents at the launch and grew to 77 presidents by the end of the spring semester, with further growth expected.\"},{\"question\":\"What key events were highlighted between August 2023 and June 2024?\",\"answer\":\"The report highlights a public launch and faculty institute in August 2023, a campus call for free expression in fall 2023, Israel-Hamas-related campus protests and debates in October 2023, congressional hearings in December 2023 and May 2024, and faculty institute convenings in April and June 2024.\"}]","Progress Report - August 2023–June 2024 - From Polarization to Progress | PDF",1792053217,76]
