Upcoming Events

Public trust in higher education is under growing scrutiny from policymakers, university leaders, faculty, and the public. Recent initiatives from Yale’s Committee on Trust in Higher Education, AAC&U’s Trust Agenda, Gallup’s confidence data, and Secretary McMahon’s National Call to Action all point to a significant challenge: higher education must rebuild trust in its institutions. But what does it actually take to rebuild that trust? This webinar moves beyond institutional reputation, accountability, and public messaging to examine a frequently overlooked dimension of the trust crisis: the everyday experiences of people inside higher education. The discussion will explore how trust is built—or lost—through relationships among students, faculty, staff, and institutional leaders.

This webinar is co-sponsored by the Alliance for Higher Education and the AAUP Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom.

Beyond Resilience: Universities as Active Value-Driving Agents in a Changing World
