A premise of this project is that campus rules or norms that enable the practice of intolerance to prevent lawful free expression may restrict student learning, scholarly inquiry, or both. On some topics, peer cultures of intolerance may also put at risk the well-being of students or staff with minority viewpoints. This is one of the institutional dilemmas I'll be exploring with participants.
