1. Before or after the event: why the university has decided to bring the speakers to campus/hold a debateàdiversify ideologies presented? Ask student leaders why they made this decision (Distinguished speakers board) as well as students and faculty around campus how they feel about CU’s speakers. Are they diverse enough? Other ways the campus can diversify in terms of the flow of ideas and beliefs?
