How Can We Get Viewpoint Diversity in Higher Ed

Viewpoint diversity is widely invoked in higher education, but rarely translated into concrete practice. What does it look like in hiring, teaching, and institutional design? And how can universities foster genuine intellectual pluralism without reducing it to slogans, quotas, or culture-war signaling? In this webinar, co-editor of the new book, Viewpoint Diversity: What It Is, Why We Need It, and How to Get It, John Tomasi joins contributors Tyler J. VanderWeele, Komi Frey, and Nafees Alam to focus squarely on how institutions can foster genuine intellectual pluralism without sacrificing academic standards or free inquiry. The conversation explores practical strategies for hiring that respect disciplinary norms while expanding the range of serious perspectives represented on campus, institutional frameworks that protect open inquiry and resist ideological conformity, and classroom practices that help students engage competing viewpoints with rigor and courage. Grounded, constructive, and implementation-oriented, this webinar offers faculty, administrators, and academic leaders actionable insights for building universities where real disagreement and open dialogue can flourish.
