Bridging the Great Divide



Recognizing the important role played by CUNY faculty, students and administration in contributing to scholarship such issues, President Jeremy Travis has announced a year-long initiative, entitled Bridging the Divide: Re-imagining Police-Community Relations. The initiative seeks to engage a diverse group of stakeholders from various disciplines and backgrounds in inclusive, constructive, public discourse on best practices for improving relations between law enforcement and the communities they serve. Guided by a mandate to “educate for justice,” the John Jay College community will leverage the expertise and experiences of faculty, staff, students and the larger community, to explore the challenges faced by communities and members of law enforcement that often serve to inhibit constructive engagement.
