University Statement on Schoolhouse’s Dialogues program

“At Vanderbilt, we are committed to being a destination for the most promising individuals from a broad range of perspectives and creating an environment where they can reach their full potential. To that end, we undertake many efforts to advance and more deeply embed our long-held values of free expression, civil discourse, and institutional neutrality across campus.

In May, we initiated a pilot project with Schoolhouse Dialogues, a third-party organization, to explore its potential to complement Vanderbilt’s existing programming to foster meaningful dialogue, respectful disagreement, and intellectual curiosity. After careful consideration and hearing some concerns, we have decided to end this pilot project at this time.”
