The Eastern Michigan University divisions of Academic Affairs, Student Affairs and Enrollment Management hosted “Continuing the Conversation: A Forum on Civility and Respect” in the Student Center Ballroom last Wednesday. The forum included a panel made up of representatives from different organizations on campus, as well as professors of various departments. This was the follow-up to the first forum that dealt with a controversial comic published in The Eastern Echo. Reginald Barnes, director of diversity and community involvement, was the first panelist to respond to a question posed by the moderator, professor Ronald Woods.
