The Chronicle of Higher Education reports that "White supremacist groups are targeting college campuses like never before," while the appearance of nooses, swastikas, and racial epithets are increasing across the United States. This timely volume presents a wide range of perspectives to offer readers practical steps and policy options for creating campus structures that are fair and inclusive to students of all races and social statuses. It features chapters from a university president, a department chair, a campus chaplain, cultural center directors, faculty, and students--including voices from the front lines of recent protests at the University of Missouri and Howard University. Campus Uprisings demonstrates the power and value of principled nonviolent activism to provoke change and provides thoughtful strategies to help universities manage conflict and racial tension.
