The Constitution Day program will focus on the constitutionality of affirmative action in higher education admissions. Emphasis on the Supreme Court's rejection of affirmative action at Harvard and the University of North Carolina will provoke a lively exchange of ideas, with some favoring diversity, and others, meritocracy. Student panelists will lead the exchange. Everyone welcomes the two speakers, Jonathan Entin and Curt Levey.
Jonathan Entin, J.D. taught Constitutional Law; Administrative Law; Courts, Public Policy, and Social Change; the Law and Social Science Seminar; Law, Legislation, and Regulation; Mass Media Law; Property; and the Supreme Court Seminar for nearly four decades. He also served for nearly eight years as the law school’s associate dean for academic affairs. Long engaged across campus, he held an appointment in the Department of Political Science for many years and served as the university’s faculty mediator.
Entin was the longtime faculty advisor to the Case Western Reserve Law Review. When he retired, many of his former students endowed a fund in his honor to benefit the Law Review. He also co-edited the Journal of Legal Education for nearly seven years and was a visiting fellow at the Federal Judicial Center. He has published more than 150 articles, book chapters, essays, and reviews. His work has appeared in journals at such law schools as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Northwestern, and Texas, as well as in the Administrative Law Review, Constitutional Commentary, Jurimetrics Journal, The Urban Lawyer and a number of social science publications.
Curt Levey, J.D. is President of the Committee For Justice, an organization devoted to advancing constitutionally limited government and individual liberty. He is a veteran of Supreme Court and other judicial confirmation battles and serves on the executive committee of the Federalist Society's Civil Rights Practice Group.
After graduating Harvard Law School with honors and clerking for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, Mr. Levey served as Director of Legal & Public Affairs at the Center for Individual Rights (CIR). There he worked on landmark Supreme Court cases, including the University of Michigan affirmative action cases and the successful constitutional challenge to the Violence Against Women Act. After CIR, Mr. Levey headed the Title IX policy group at the U.S. Department of Education.
