In the wake of almost a century of desegregation decisions from the U.S. Supreme Court, we have invited three scholars to explore how various legal concerns continue to affect the policies and practices of universities today in the quest to achieve racial, ethnic, and other forms of diversity in their student populations. The panel discussion will occur on Wednesday, March 19th from 7:30-9:00pm in the LBC’s Qatar Ballroom.

Panelists include:

• Sumi Cho, Professor of Law, DePaul University College of Law
• Stella Flores, Associate Professor of Public Policy and Higher Education, Vanderbilt University
• Cheryl Harris, Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation Chair in Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, UCLA School of Law

Moderated by:

• Deborah Love, Vice President for Institutional Equity and Diversity, Tulane University

The event is free and open to the public, with a reception immediately to follow. This panel is sponsored by the Office of Multicultural Affairs, the Program in Africa and African Diaspora Studies, and the Office of Academic Affairs. Commemorative events are also made possible by a grant from the Rosa Keller Foundations.
