Luncheon

Leading an American University in a Time of Turmoil

On Tuesday, October 22, 2024, ACTA will be hosting Vanderbilt Chancellor Daniel Diermeier for a luncheon speech and fireside chat.

Joining Chancellor Diermeier will be President Emeritus of The George Washington University and ACTA Board Member Stephen Joel Trachtenberg. ACTA president Michael Poliakoff will moderate the discussion.

American college campuses have become hot spots for protests, unrest, occupations, and encampments since the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel and the ongoing hostilities in the Middle East. ACTA will host a conversation on the challenges facing university leadership in maintaining those rules and procedures that ensure campus safety and the freedom to teach and learn.

Chancellor Diermeier has written eloquently about free speechinstitutional neutrality, and the challenges facing American universities during times of turmoil. He will deliver remarks and discuss his strategies, philosophies, and vision for Vanderbilt University and restoring the promise of higher education in America. Join us for what promises to be a lively and newsworthy discussion.
  
Q&A from the audience will follow. This event is a plated luncheon.
