A meeting between UW System officials and students concerned about diversity and inclusion was canceled Friday, after disagreement over whether or not that meeting should be public.
Friday, The Board of Regents passed a resolution that states the university should not shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome. In a statement, the regents said that, while the university greatly values mutual respect, it cannot be used as a justification for closing off a discussion of ideas, however offensive or disagreeable.
