Faculty and students organized a teach-in, a day long series of lectures, about the issues raised in the task force report about racism at the University of Minnesota. Members of the task force, student activists, and Riv-Ellen Prell and John Wright all made presentations. The teach-in was motivated, in part, by the attacks on the faculty by some of the members of the board of regents, giving faculty and students who were silenced at the  regents’ meeting the opportunity to speak. The sessions were well attended. Teach-ins developed on campuses during the Vietnam War to educate students and faculty about the war outside of the classroom by faculty and students. These issues were not part of the standard curriculum of the time.
