Monday, Oct. 13, 4:00 - 5:30 p.m. – Main Campus, Alumni Hall
We’re excited to welcome Yale Law Professor Justin Driver for a conversation about his new book, The Fall of Affirmative Action. In it, he takes a close look at the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard — a ruling that brought big changes to how colleges approach diversity.
Driver argues that both critics and supporters of affirmative action have misunderstood what the Court actually said. Drawing on his background as a constitutional scholar and former Supreme Court clerk, he explores what the decision means and how universities can still work toward equity and inclusion within the law.
Driver’s writing has appeared in The New York Times, The Washington Post, and PBS NewsHour. This event is a chance to hear from one of today’s leading voices on constitutional law and education.
This event is organized by the NEIU Libraries, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Office of Legal Affairs and is co-sponsored by Heterodox Academy. If you have any questions about the event, please contact Dean of Libraries Steven Harris at s-harris9@neiu.edu.
