“DEFENDING ACADEMI C FREEDOM TO TEACH ABOUT RACE AND GENDER JUST I CE AND CRI T I CAL RACE THEORY” RESOLUTION TEMPLATE

Faculty senates and/or councils are one of the most important mechanisms of shared governance and faculty empowerment -- and can be used to communicate to our administrations and governing boards what is most important to us. To that end, we’ve developed a resolution template entitled “Defending Academic Freedom to Teach About Race and Gender Justice and Critical Race Theory” -- which faculty members can introduce in their respective senates and councils for adoption and presentation to their administrations. The sample resolution can be adapted to what you think would be most effective at your individual institution. Find links to the resolution template itself, as well as sample resolutions that demonstrate how faculty at two campuses incorporated language from their governance documents and mission statements into their resolutions.
