University Administrator's Guide to an Unhostile Campus
Maryam Hasan
Online Submission
This guide from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) provides higher education administrators with actionable strategies to foster inclusive, equitable campus environments in response to the documented rise in Islamophobia and anti-Palestinian racism. Framed within the context of civil rights protections, the guide offers a comprehensive framework for addressing bias, censorship, and hostile campus climates that disproportionately affect Muslim, Arab, and marginalized students. The document outlines the legal and ethical responsibilities of university leadership to uphold student rights, including freedom of speech and the right to protest. It identifies recurring patterns of administrative overreach, such as surveillance, censorship, public condemnation, and punitive policies that contribute to hostile learning environments. Practical recommendations are provided to help institutions assess their current policies and adopt proactive measures to ensure compliance with federal protections and foster inclusive learning environments.
