The University of North Carolina System has adopted a revised policy on equality that emphasizes academic freedom, equal opportunity, and institutional neutrality.\u00a0The Coulter Faculty Commons is hosting two separate information sessions with\u00a0Shea Browning and Heather Baker\u00a0from the Legal Counsel team. They\u00a0will provide an overview of the policy and practical implications for faculty\u00a0as well as\u00a0staff\u00a0who have a teaching role at WCU. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in discussion to better understand how these changes impact their roles and responsibilities.<\/p>\n
We are offering the following two sessions, one designed for faculty and one for instructional staff.<\/p>\n
