OUR COMMUNITY: "Hate Crimes on Our Campuses"

Additionally, there will be a discussion (including copies of recent relevant articles for all participants) on the philosophical underpinnings and arguments both for and against hate crimes laws that have been offered by well-known activists within the community.
