Race and American Constitutionalism

(1 Credit Hour) · Undergraduate

By the end of June 2023, the American Supreme Court will hand down a decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard. The case is likely to be one of the most consequential decisions on race and the American Constitution in recent history. This one-credit course will examine the decision and its various opinions. Prior Supreme Court precedents on affirmative action and the larger legal and political issues surrounding the case will also be addressed. The course will be co-taught by the Honorable Amul Thapar, judge on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals, and Prof. Vincent Phillip Muñoz.
