Abstract
As controversies regarding free speech on college campuses continue to rise, it is important for student affairs professionals to gain a stronger understanding of the legal complexities of addressing diversity. Diversity programs and curriculum will be explored in the context of academic freedom and federal law. An overview of pertinent legal cases addressing diversity, trends and current events shaping the ways in which diversity is addressed, and implications will be discussed. Good practices for avoiding violations of free speech while maintaining a strong support for diversity are offered.
