Calhoun at Yale: Ground Rules of Cancel Culture

In 2016, Yale University established a committee to "articulate principles" regarding proposed renaming of the campus' Calhoun College, named for John C. Calhoun—a congressman, seventh U.S. Vice President, and notable slavery proponent. This committee provided a detailed historical, cultural, and practical review of the pros and pitfalls renaming entails. This review foresaw many of the cancel culture issues arising in law, business, society, and academia today and provides the framework for an important and timely discussion.

Speakers:

• Paul Avelar, Managing Attorney, Institute for Justice—Arizona
• Mark Kokanovich, Of Counsel, Ballard Spahr
• Kory Langhofer, Managing Partner, Statecraft
• Andrew Pappas, General Counsel, Arizona House of Representatives
