Neal Katyal to Speak on Affirmative Action in Rogow Lecture
Neal Katyal—a prominent lawyer, scholar, and national news commentator who has argued dozens of cases before the Supreme Court—will speak at the University of Hartford about the recent affirmative action ruling and its monumental impact.
The University is presenting What’s Next: Unpacking the Supreme Court Ruling on Affirmative Action with Neal Katyal as this fall’s Rogow Distinguished Visiting Lecturer Program through UHart's Office of Diversity, Equity, and Community. The program is free and open to the public on Oct. 3, at 5:30 p.m., in Wilde Auditorium on campus.
After Katyal’s lecture, Jilda Aliotta, associate professor of politics, economics, and international studies at UHart, will host a conversation with Katyal and moderate a Q&A with the audience. Katyal is expected to speak on changes to the collegiate admissions process; effects on higher education diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives; and the overall influence this major ruling will have on society.
