As institutions of higher education increasingly face resistance to teaching Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) from various stakeholders—including students, parents, administrators, and government entities—there is a critical need to explore effective strategies for maintaining and promoting DEI in our curricula. This panel will provide an in-depth examination of the challenges associated with teaching DEI and offer practical solutions for overcoming these obstacles. Through a collaborative discussion, the panel aims to facilitate conversation amongst panel members and participants with insights and strategies for supporting faculty, ensuring student engagement, and navigating the shifting landscape of state and university policies. Moderator: Julie Lellis, Elon University Panelists: Jessalynn Strauss, Elon University; Leighton C. Peterson, Miami University; Karen Lindsey, Elon University
