This website is designed to serve as an asynchronous learning module. The overarching theme of this website is administrative responses to student demands, both historical and contemporary. Selecting one of the options below will take you to a page with 3 examples of student demands for changes at an institution of higher education. The page will also provide information about how the administration of those institutions responded. Each option has a visual element, a paragraph summary to provide context, details about the administrative response, and a question for reflection.
Please Note: There are 3 options for engagement (Civil Rights Movement/Racial Justice, LGBTQ+ Rights, and Student's Financial Concerns). While only one historical event and contemporary parallel is required for the suggested exercise, a dive into more than one is welcomed.
