2022-2023 Student Handbook

External Speakers

Carroll College is committed to providing a campus-wide intellectual environment in which faculty, students, and other members of the College community are encouraged to seek truth, develop critical thinking, and make responsible decisions. To achieve these objectives, members of the college community must be free to engage the full range of views on a variety of subjects.  Even unwelcome or controversial views need to be heard, discussed and analyzed. Therefore, neither agreement with Catholic teaching nor the desire to avoid offense should be the guiding principles for the invitation of speakers to campus or in the organization of campus programs by academic departments, organized faculty groups and other College organizations. In extending such invitations, however, members of the College community have an obligation to respect the special aims and objectives of Carroll College as described in the statement of mission.
