UNC Charlotte joins Heterodox Academy (HxA) Campus Community Network

On January 9, 2023, Heterodox Academy (HxA) launched a new initiative called the Campus Community Network. The Campus Community Network aims to change campus culture and institutional practices by empowering members to promote HxA values. Each Campus Community will be led by several HxA member co-chairs who are faculty, staff, or graduate students at the university. With the support of HxA, the co-chairs will foster a community of academics to organize events, host monthly gatherings, and collaborate with leaders on their campuses. UNC Charlotte is one of the 23 universities selected to join the initial cohort of Campus Communities. Heterodox Academy is the world’s largest nonpartisan nonprofit member organization of 5,400+ university faculty, staff, and students committed to improving research and edution by promoting the ideals of viewpoint diversity, open inquiry, and constructive disagreement. Heterodox means not conforming with accepted standards or beliefs.
