Chancellor on Constructive Dialogue Institute and inclusion efforts

At a time of increasing polarization and division, CUNY is helping members of our community develop the skills to engage across differences with empathy and respect.

Through our trailblazing collaboration with the Constructive Dialogue Institute, largely funded by this city council, we are building a culture of constructive engagement.

This ambitious partnership represents the largest deployment of the CDI's model and the first initiative of its kind at a university system.

Complementing this work is our Center for Inclusivity and Equal Opportunity, which ensures that reports of discrimination and harassment are addressed promptly and fairly, and that all members of our community have access to the support that they need.

That commitment to safety, dignity, and inclusion extends beyond our campuses and into the communities that CUNY serves.
