In a message from Dean Melanie Leslie Cardozo students were invited to an open forum discussion on the presidential election, which will cover questions and issues that have been raised and will feature five faculty members in conversation with students. Below is the letter to students inviting them to the Wednesday Nov. 11th event.
Dear Students:
We know that the result in this week’s presidential election has raised questions for many of you, and we’d like to come together as a community to discuss them. Some of you have questions about the future of particular laws or programs; some of you want to talk about the Supreme Court; some of you are focused on the stark divides in our country this result seems to reflect. All of that is fair game for this discussion, so please come with questions and thoughts you’d like to share.
The panelists (Michelle Adams, Michael Herz, David Rudenstine, Kate Shaw, and Ekow Yankah) will open the discussion, but most of the time will be reserved for your contributions. See details below. If you can’t make it but want to talk about the election in a separate venue, please feel free to reach out to anyone on the faculty, Dean Judy Mender, or Yolonda Harrison.
With Warm Regards,
Melanie Leslie
Dean and Professor of Law
