free speech and harassment/discrimination
•Distinguish between protected and unprotected speech as informed by law and policy
•Review when and how public actors (including universities) may act
formally to address inflammatory, offensive, or provocative speech
•Elicit discussion of strategies/actions to help participants prepare
for and manage situations involving hurtful yet protected speech
