CLCs are comprised typically of 8-12 people who commit to regular participation (typically
for two hours monthly) and the creation of a confidential, 鈥渟afe-as-possible-for-risk-taking鈥
kind of space. Survey data from CFG/CLC participants over the past several years at
CI consistently support the idea that in these groups, support can be sought, risks
can be taken, critical conversations can be had, trust can be grown, and thorny problems
can be tackled -- all through the process of working on dilemmas of professional practice
(for example, campus climate issues) with the help of structured protocols led by
qualified facilitators. For more information on this Inclusive Excellence Action Plan
initiative, please see the IEAP website.
