We have a discussion about a racist tweet written by a student at MCC. The student doesn't represent MCC, its student body, or its faculty, but he is part of the MCC community.
The tweet raises a number of questions: What is free speech and what isn't? What is the responsibility of MCC or other institutions that have faced similar issues? If such issues are matters of free speech, do institutions have any power to act? Should they? Our guests weigh in. In studio:
- Anne M. Kress, president of MCC
- Lloyd Holmes, vice president of student services and chief diversity officer at MCC
- Demario Brantley, sociology professor and Latin American Academy Fellow at MCC
- Daniel Skerritt, president of the MCC Student Events and Governance Association
