The Spring 2023 summit covered "Democratic Principles and Social Mobility in a Pluralistic Society." In our increasingly divided society, trust in American democracy is eroding at an alarming pace – and confidence in institutions of higher education along with it. CU experts shared how their research and lived experiences informs our understanding of this current moment in American history – and how the diverse communities within our public universities can help to sustain and support a democracy that ensures liberty and justice for all.
