"There are few better examples of democracy in action than an informed citizenry openly exploring, and supporting or challenging the most important governmental policies and decisions that affect the nation. In this spirit, the Association of American Colleges and Universities Board of Directors recommends that member institutions actively encourage and provide public forums for engaging students, faculty, staff and local community members in learning and debate about the issues and implications of war with Iraq."
