Gatekeeping and Accountability in Institutional Change
Abstract / Description
Faculty, staff, and administrators all play important gatekeeping roles in controlling institutional narratives and access to institutional resources. As agents and leaders of the university we often expect high degrees of accountability from those we lead. This presentation/discussion will look at the important ways that gatekeeping and accountability can also be important aspects of community-based antiracist organizing. Using recent experiences in a number of institutions as an emergent case studies Dr. Peter Carpenter, Dean Onye Ozuzu will look at ways that liberated gatekeeping and accountability measures are essential for meaningful shifts in organizational culture.

Honor Native Land: A Call to Higher Education for Tribal Land Acknowledgment

A call to open all public events and gatherings with acknowledgment of the traditional indigenous inhabitants of the land.  Acknowledgement is a simple, powerful way of showing respect and a step toward correcting the stories and practices that erase Indigenous people’s history and culture and toward inviting and honoring the truth. This discussion will address how institutions of higher education can begin to articulate and deliver a meaningful recognition about the indigenous history of the land upon which they exist.
