Experts to discuss how to disrupt 'school-to-prison pipeline' for students of color : Newscenter : IUPUI: INDIANAPOLIS -- A panel of experts on race and education will discuss the problem of the "school-to-prison pipeline" during a public event Thursday, April 17.
"The School-to-Prison Pipeline: What It Is and What We Can Do to Disrupt It" starts at 6:30 p.m. at the IUPUI Campus Center, Room 450B. The event is co-sponsored by the Indiana University School of Education at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and the IUPUI Office of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The event is free.
Five panelists from Indiana and Illinois will bring their perspectives to finding a solution. The school-to-prison pipeline refers to alarming statistics that show students of color facing disciplinary actions in school at much higher rates, which in turn tends to steer the students toward more serious problems outside school.
