Commission on Public Relations Education Leadership Committee member Dr.Katie Place, co-chair of CPRE’s DEI committee, joined other colleagues from academia and the practice Oct. 14 at the PRSA Educators Academy for a panel discussion on DEI and challenges being faced by educators nationwide. The panel discussed how, even though DEI is facing substantial restrictions in certain states, it’s important to find ways to keep this topic in front of students. The discussion included the importance of framing DEI in an ethical context and the need to sometimes change terminology to other descriptors like “access.” The fact that DEI is still often well-supported in the profession and is seen as being in the best interests of business was also discussed. #pr
