More ominous signs that campus unrest may grow in intensity this fall, which raises the following questions: Have college administrators taken advantage of the summer lull to review, update, and strengthen their campus protest policies, in light of "lessons learned" from recent events? Will students return to campus with a better understanding of what those policies are and how they'll be enforced? Do new or returning college students need remedial education in the free speech fundamentals? It's not too late for schools to seize this moment to undertake a top-to-bottom review of their campus free speech policies. If not now, when? https://lnkd.in/eEZUfTDv

BERGER MONTAGUE NAMED AS... Litigators of the Week: $284M and Counting From Elite Universities Accused of Price-Fixing. Our Litigators of the Week are Bob Gilbert of Gilbert Litigators & Counselors, Ted Normand of Freedman Normand Friedland, and Eric Cramer of Berger Montague who have been pursuing price-fixing claims against 17 elite universities accused of conspiring to limit financial aid awards and inflating tuition. Last week U.S. District Judge Matthew Kennelly in Chicago gave preliminary approval to three more settlements—with Dartmouth agreeing to pay $33.75 million, Northwestern $43.5 million, and Vanderbilt $55 million. Those settlements raise the number of schools that have settled to 10 and the total amount of the settlements to $284 million.
Congratulations to Eric Cramer and his team at Berger Montague for more settlements in the university price-fixing case. https://lnkd.in/et58Y5QS

It is particularly difficult to create free expression policies or a culture of free expression in the midst of a conflict when emotions are extremely high. The best time to consider campus policies is before you need them. Metropolitan State University of Denver prepared ahead by developing a campus speech initiative, a presidential action plan, and bringing free speech discussion to the classroom. Learn how your board and institution can benefit from a similar approach. https://bit.ly/3UYVUKc

In July of last year, I launched IN THE CENTER LANE as part of my ongoing effort to promote civil discourse and critical thinking on the major issues of our times. I've now published the 45th essay in this endeavor. My social and political commentaries over the years have focused on the ongoing threats to American democracy. So, too, does this opinion piece: THE UNIFIED REICH: AN AMERICAN NIGHTMARE SCENARIO. https://lnkd.in/g-m-cxgx

I am so proud of the work the Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission (MLTRC) is doing to shed light on buried episodes of racial terrorism in our state’s history while working with communities to create a path towards reconciliation. We just had our first lynching hearing — this one in Frederick County — in over a year, and it was nothing short of phenomenal but please don’t take my word for it. The experts, the descendants, and the community members who testified were profound, passionate, and powerful. Despite the somber topic, witnessing this truth telling felt uplifting and restorative. Please watch the hearing. Please spread the word. Please lift up these voices. I recommend starting at the 39 minute mark for a powerful presentation on the history of lynchings in Frederick County and the circumstances behind the lynchings of James Carroll in 1879, John Biggus in 1887, and James Bowen in 1895. https://lnkd.in/e6d9QTPp Maryland is the first and only state to have a lynching truth and reconciliation commission. I am grateful to serve on it and grateful to live in a state that is unafraid to confront hard truths. We will be holding hearings in every MD county where a documented lynching occurred. If you live in MD, I encourage you to engage in the important work of this groundbreaking commission. We will need your support when we submit our report and recommendations for reconciliation to the MD State legislature. If you live outside of MD, consider petitioning your state legislature to create a commission like this. As always, I am encouraged by the diversity of people who participated in this hearing. Don’t ever let anyone convince you that racial justice is a black versus white issue. There is room for everyone on the side of justice. Onward until victory is won and justice is done.

To understand and put into context for today what was done to build our country at its inception, knowing how the ideas and principles involved were arrived at is the responsible first step. We teach Civics from the beginning, not the end. Help us prepare young people to internalize these principles by going to the power of the printed word.
"We point young people back to primary source documents and give teachers the tools by which they can engage students.” That’s what BRI President and CEO David Bobb had to say in a recent discussion on the history of the Bill of Rights, and how BRI resources and programs equip students and teachers to live the ideals of a free and just society.
