Dangerous Discussion Issues
- Significant, Controversial, Tractable
Dangerous Discussion issues are characterized by ineffective conflicts and realistic hopes.  For these issues, diverse stakeholders:
1.  hold strong, varied opinions, and
2.  cannot communicate often, easily, or effectively enough. 

However, there is also good reason to believe that we are likely to make significant improvements by working together civilly and constructively on these issues.

As members of academic communities we, especially, should be able to deal honestly, openly, respectfully, and constructively with these issues.
