Mnookin began her remarks by denouncing recent political violence at Utah Valley University. Efforts to turn the values of inclusion, open dialogue and civic responsibility into lived experience are already well underway at UW–Madison. And in the classroom, courses like Public Policy in a Divided America are giving students the tools to engage across difference. As a former law school dean, Mnookin was unequivocal about the role public universities must play in both fostering civic dialogue through efforts such as these and protecting freedom of expression. On a public university campus like UW–Madison, “the First Amendment regulates the limits of speech,” she said.
