Despite efforts to increase diversity and inclusion on college and university campuses, viewpoint diversity is rarely discussed in training sessions and in professional development initiatives within student affairs. The presenter will highlight the importance of viewpoint diversity and inclusion as it relates to the work of student affairs professionals and provide recommendations for addressing and overcoming ideological marginalization. 

Learning Outcomes 

1. Articulate the existing empirical and anecdotal data about viewpoint diversity and ideological marginalization in higher education

2. Interpret underlying religious and/or political ideologies that lead to diverse viewpoints about a multitude of topics of interest in student affairs 

3. Recognize how to separate viewpoint/belief from behavior and will gain an increased understanding of how to appropriately regulate the latter
