"Are All CCU Students Equal?" is the discussion topic for a panel of Coastal Carolina University students and faculty members as part of the Java Jabber series on Thursday, Nov. 12, at 5 p.m. in the James J. Johnson Auditorium. A reception will follow in the anteroom. Admission is free and open to the public.

A recent climate survey of CCU students indicates that some students experience socioeconomic discrimination. The panel will discuss what socioeconomic discrimination is, how it differs from other forms of discrimination, the role it plays in students' lives and how it can be eliminated.

Participants will receive a "Java Buck," good for $1 off any Starbucks purchase in Kimbel Library. For more information, visit coastal.edu/jacksoncenter or facebook.com/jacksoncenter.

Java Jabber is a forum sponsored by the Jackson Family Center for Ethics and Values at CCU. The Jackson Center creates opportunities for open conversations about how ethics and values affect individuals, the University, the region and the world. It aims to inspire individuals to make ethical and value-based decisions, and thus lead lives of courage, compassion and integrity. Other Java Jabber topics have included freshman year ethics and ethical issues in the Middle East.
