CORONAVIRUS UPDATE | TUESDAY, MARCH 17 (1/10)

Starting on March 30, we will be moving all spring semester classes online. We are asking students not to return to campus this semester unless there is a specific need: https://t.co/Vx3hdgkyzU

[Sara Kennedy @SaraK_ATX]

Vanessa Crow making an excellent point: maybe one of the skills we need to teach students is how to engage effectively online #SpeechMatters

[Sara Kennedy @SaraK_ATX]

The path forward I’m hearing from the panel on civic participation on campus is that we need to stop holding our students so close. We need to see them, and to help them see themselves as active members of our local community #SpeechMatters

"We believe this is the first case a judge ruled that online racist activity can have an impact on real life and someone's access to public accommodations." - @NadiaInDC of @LawyersComm speaks on the historic Dumpson v. Anglin case at #SpeechMatters.

It's an extraordinary moment here at #SpeechMatters2020, as protesters demonstrate against @UCIrvine Chancellor Howard Gillman, who in turn honors and DEFENDS their right to protest... and opens up a panel on "Protest and Distuption on Campus"! #speechmatters

Sandra Rodriguez of @unevadareno speaking on campus protesting and disruption. "There CAN be a confrontation... let it be a confrontation of your minds." #speechmatters2020 #speechmatters @WiscChief

Sandra Rodriguez from @unevadareno is a treasure: “marginalized communities pay a higher price for free speech. It’s our job as administrators to help them navigate this issue in their education” #SpeechMatters

Fascinating hearing @vsarveshwar give context to the student experience related to protest at UC Berkeley #SpeechMatters

“When doing traditional activities like tabling & registering, it’s vital to think about diversity & think about the skills of active listening. Instead of saying, “come over here and register,” say “come over and tell me what you care about.”" @NancyThomasIDHE #Speechmatters

[Sara Kennedy @SaraK_ATX]

I loved this from @NancyThomasIDHE , that the conversation can only really happen when students feel like they belong and can “connect across difference” #SpeechMatters

[National Study of Learning, Voting, and Engagement @TuftsNSLVE]

“We have to start working in the curriculum [on political learning] and we have to work to build campus climate for student belonging.” - @NancyThomasIDHE #Speechmatters

[Sara Kennedy @SaraK_ATX]

Great thread on the panel on how students are changing American democracy

[Sara Kennedy @SaraK_ATX]

Preach. I think it's a design issue that makes the branding look like the hashtag is all together. #SpeechMatters #graphicdesigniskey
