Jonathan Alger
Jonathan Alger
is president of James Madison University (JMU) in Virginia. Under his leadership, JMU has developed a new vision to be “the national model of the engaged university: engaged with ideas and the world,” and a strategic plan focused on engaged learning, community engagement, and civic engagement. A nationally recognized scholar on higher education policy and law, Alger presented at many conferences and campuses across the U.S. and abroad and has published extensively in legal and higher education journals and periodicals (including on issues of free expression, hate speech, and discrimination).

Stefan Bradley
Stefan Bradley
is an associate professor and chair of African American studies at Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, California. His primary research area is recent African American history. More specifically, he is fascinated with the efforts and abilities of black college students to change not only their scholastic environments but also the communities that surrounded their institutions of higher learning. Amazingly, young people, by way of protests and demands, have been able to influence college curricula as well as the policies of their schools. This interest in the protest movements of these young people has led him to study black student activism at Ivy League universities. His first book,
Harlem vs. Columbia University: Black Student Power in the Late 1960
s deals with black students who risked their educations (and potentially their lives) during the famous controversy that took place at Columbia University in 1968-1969. After the uprisings in Ferguson, Missouri and elsewhere occurred, his work on student/youth activism has been discussed in media outlets such as the
Harvard Law Review, New York Times
, NPR, C-Span2 BookTV, CNN, Al-Jazeera, MSNBC, BBC, and BET.

Clare's work has been published in the
