WHAT SHOULD ACADEMIC LEADERS DO?

Acknowledge the TRUTH of What’s Happening

Conduct a Threat Model for Your Campus

Recognize the Real HARM of What’s Happening

Realize that Valuing Free Speech Doesn’t Mean Welcoming Nazis

Build Long-Term Solutions for Racial Literacy

The Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) Effort AAC&U is partnering with higher education institutions to develop TRHT Campus Centers to prepare the next generation of strategic leaders and critical thinkers to dismantle the belief in the hierarchy of human value that fuels systemic and structural racism.

New Cohort of 13 TRHT Campus Centers • On January 16 th, AAC&U announced the selection of a new cohort of 13 TRHT Campus Centers. • An initial cohort of ten TRHT Campus Centers were selected by AAC&U in 2017. • The goal of AAC&U’s TRHT Campus Centers effort is to develop at least 150 self-sustaining, community integrated TRHT Campus Centers.

The TRHT Campus Centers • Adelphi University • Andrews University • Austin Community College • Big Sandy Community and Technical College • Brown University • Dominican University • Duke University • George Mason University • Hamline University • Marywood University • Millsaps College • Otterbein University • Rutgers University—Newark • Southern Illinois University–Edwardsville • Spelman College • Stockton University • The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina • University of Arkansas–Fayetteville • University of California, Irvine • University of Hawai’i at Ma noa • University of Maryland Baltimore County • The Charlotte Racial Justice Consortium (University of North Carolina Charlotte, Johnson C.

Goals and Objectives of the TRHT Campus Centers • Develop and implement a visionary action plan. • Identify and examine current realities of race relations in their community and the local history that has led to those realities. • Envision what their community will look, feel, and be like when the belief in a racial hierarchy has been jettisoned. • Pinpoint key leverage points for change, key stakeholders, and others who must be engaged.

Center for Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation EVIDENCE • ENGAGEMENT • EDUCATION

Vision A Duke campus and Durham community without racial hierarchies, where human biological and cultural variation are valued and perceived as assets essential to the progress, survival, and flourishing of the human family; polarizing race-based concepts such as “racially inferior/racially superior” and “marginalized/privileged” become obsolete; structural barriers that promote and perpetuate inequalities are dismantled and replaced with welcoming systems of equity, inclusiveness, and belonging; and the life outcomes of all are radically improved. Mission To eradicate deeply rooted beliefs in racial hierarchies, disrupt persistent structures and impacts of racism, and strengthen Duke’s position as a catalyst for change in collaboration with diverse partners in Durham.

“…I am convinced that men hate each other because they fear each other. They fear each other because they don’t know each other, and they don’t know each other because they don’t communicate with each other, and they don’t communicate with each other because they are separated from each other. ” Martin Luther King, Jr. Cornell College, Mount Vernon, Iowa 1962

The Citadel’s Mission • The Citadel’s mission is to educate and develop our students to become principled leaders in all walks of life by instilling the core values of The Citadel [Honor, Duty, Respect] in a disciplined and intellectually challenging environment. . .

Society’s Increased Normalization of Hate. . .

How did we get here? • Widespread uncritical examinations of the racialized genesis of the US • Increased Stress • A widely uneducated populace • Aggression (Intrafamilial, Interpersonal, intergroup, international) • Unacknowledged and unchecked Privilege • Increased Stereotypes • Lack of understanding of systemic factors • Increased alienation • Willful ignorance • Mass media’s perpetuation of all of the above • Unwillingness to hear, understand, and act upon feedback • “Sloppy” thinking • Fear (intragroup and intergroup) • Increased Social distance • Implicit Biases • Conscious biases masquerading as facts • Lack of diverse friend groups who will tell us the truth • Micro-aggressions • Blindspots among all • Decreased listening © 2018 J. Goosby Smith, Ph. D.

The Citadel TRHT Center Goals 1. The TRHT Center supports The Citadel's continuous evolution by creating a forum in which diverse groups of internal and external stakeholders can connect and further our mutual commitment to understanding and eradicating racism at The Citadel and in the Charleston Community. 2. The TRHT will collaborate across campus to support curricular and cocurricular efforts to celebrate and educate about individuals from various racioethnic groups who contributed to academic disciplines and military endeavors. 3. The TRHT will cosponsor events with other campus entities that value diversity, inclusion, cross-racial dialogue, and deeper mutually beneficial community partnerships. 4. The TRHT will ensure that internal and external stakeholders know about the Center’s existence, purpose, and contributions to The Citadel’s mission to achieve academic and inclusive excellence.

What have we learned so far? • • • Know your story and own it! Be about connecting and unifying people! Remember, it takes a village! Pay attention to who’s in the room! Take it to the streets! Sew TRHT into the organizational fabric! We are all part of the solution. . . all the time! We are all part of the problem. . . some of the time! Build it and they will come! When you get it, they will get it.
