President Grasso, while reflecting on free speech at the University of Michigan, shared his impressions of the first Samantha Woll Dialogue, titled "Should Universities Adopt a Definition of Antisemitism?" He remarked to The Michigan Daily: “The lecture was very interesting and worthwhile, because it actually demonstrated that I want us to be a model for the rest of the nation for how we address topics that might be divisive. The conversation was broad, it was informed, it was thoughtful and it was respectful. Many people came out of that lecture with a different perspective than when they entered it. This is how we should decide things on university campuses. It was an example of how we take dialogue and then make it move to policy decisions.”
