"It's an enormous leap to say that because Brandon Johnson's top deputies and policymaking positions are African American, that the city is discriminating on the basis of race in its hiring of ordinary, non-policy making employees," said Carolyn Shapiro, professor at the �鶹APP-Kent College of Law.

“They are arguing that the categories of people that they are attempting to exclude are not subject to jurisdiction,” says Christopher W. Schmidt, law professor and co-director of the Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States at �鶹APP Kent College of Law. “Their argument being that if you’re not legally in the country, [or] temporarily, you’re not, in some sense, subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Now, even as I talk through that, it doesn’t seem to really resonate in any meaningful way when people think about why you’re subject to jurisdiction.”

“The potential upside is huge, which means if you get in early the ride is going to be phenomenal,” said Illinois Tech President Raj Echambadi. “In the next 25 years, we’re going to be catching that elephant’s tail.”

So, as to the fundamental question, we will not know.”

“The judge said that there’s probable cause to conclude that the Trump administration willfully violated his order when they sent these Venezuelans to El Salvador, took them off the planes after they landed in El Salvador, and turned them over to Salvadoran custody,” said Carolyn Shapiro, professor at �鶹APP-Kent College of Law. “He had made it very clear in his order that the administration was not to do that.”

“We have never seen executive orders targeting law firms before. It’s totally unprecedented,” said Harold Krent, constitutional law specialist and professor of law at �鶹APP-Kent College of Law. “It seems to me clearly unconstitutional.”

“The Education Department had decided that for whatever reason, too many teacher training grants had been awarded and therefore decided to claw them back,” said Harold Krent, professor at �鶹APP-Kent College of Law. “They clawed them back on the grounds that the grants might have in some ways contributed to illegal DEI initiatives, although that’s unclear, and they used that reason for all of them en masse.”

"Managing blood glucose isn’t just about monitoring blood sugar levels — it’s about improving insulin sensitivity," said study leader Indika Edirisinghe, professor of food science and nutrition.
