Braver Angels Collegiate Debate: DEI policies are more beneficial than harmful.

University of Texas at Austin students, faculty, and staff are invited to join a respectful conversation touching all sides of a challenging issue. Braver Angels debates are not competitive, but provide a deep experience of civil discourse. Conducted in a light parliamentary style, they teach students to engage with each other respectfully around difficult, polarizing issues. Students think together, listen carefully, and allow themselves to be touched and even changed by each other’s ideas. Participants emerge with greater empathy and appreciation for diversity of thought.

Sponsored by the Bech-Loughlin First Amendment Center and Civitas Institute, this collegiate debate is free and brought to you by the College Debates and Discourse Alliance, a partnership of Braver Angels, the American Council of Trustees and Alumni (ACTA), and BridgeUSA, non-profit organizations that amplify the power of free expression and promote respectful exchange of ideas on America's college campuses.

Please register at the link!

- Registration for this debate will be open until the scheduled starting time of March 11th, 6:30 p.m. CT.

- Debate location: Francis Auditorium, UT-Austin School of Law

- Food and refreshments will be provided at 6:00 p.m.; the debate will start at 6:30 p.m.
