POLT 409 - Public Education, Policy and Law


FC SSCI WINT
4 credits
This seminar will explore how law and policy interact in public education (K12 and higher education), focusing on significant Supreme Court constitutional rulings involving race and/or religion. We will grapple with several questions: 1) What theory of judicial review should the Court embrace? 2) How are Court decisions made? 3) What impact do Court decisions have on policy and practice? 4) To what extent does (or should) the law limit policy options in these areas? Limited to third and fourth year students.
Course Last Offered/Scheduled: Spring 2017
