Institutional Neutrality Seminar
Join the faculty Free Expression and Constructive Discourse task force for a campus panel and forum on Institutional Neutrality on April 21 from 10:00-11:30 a.m. in the Halton Reading Room. The panel will explore the policy that university administrators at all levels do not speak for the university or their unit on controversial issues of the day. This allows individual faculty and students to feel free to express their views without fear of it conflicting with those above them. The seminar will be followed by a breakout session from 1:30-3:00 p.m. in the Visualization Lab on the 2nd floor. Details

The Julian D. Mason Talks on Book Collecting: The Princess Augusta Sophia Collection of Drama And Other Rare Treasures From Atkins Library
The family of Queen Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and King George III were avid fans of the theater, sometimes even inviting famous actors to their homes for play-readings. At the center of their enthusiasm for the theater is an extensive collection of English drama collected by Princess Augusta Sophia, George and Charlotte’s second-oldest daughter. Join us as we learn about the royal family’s bibliophilia and this collection’s fascinating journey on its way to a home at UNC Charlotte centuries later, in 1971.
