National Panel

The National Panel was comprised of scholars and campus leaders who have made significant contributions to our current understanding of cultural and democratic pluralism in American society. Following two years of dialogue with all sectors of higher education, the Panel published a series of reports and policy recommendations on higher education's role in a diverse democracy and on pedagogical, curricular, and institutional practices. This project also supported a series of Community Seminars to address issues of recognition and inclusion in all parts of American society.
