Object to the existence of a quorum. We dont have to debate the her its of it. Theres an open question about the consequence. Okay. A professor at my law school, Washington College of law and an expert in constitutional law and many other things. Runs the sjd program there and an expert in issues related to race and the Supreme Court. We did have one really important race related case this term thats kind of gotten buried and lost in the shuffle. Maybe decided earlier. But it tells us a fair amount i think about where the court is at on the questions and relates to other cases that you can discuss, im sure. The schutte case, the voters of michigan announced they were going to change the constitution to forbid affirmative action, including particularly racebased affirmative in Higher Education and some other things and had the consequence of overruling a prior question saying the Michigan Law School could take race into account for admissions. And so, the court was presented with a ques
Start talking about this value equation. So to further comment on the economic realities, one of my responsibilities is to balance the budget for the medical school. While we get in 40 million in external funding last year, for each dollar that comes in, we spent about 25 cents and were very efficient in extra dollars that had to support the Research Enterprise and thats to mr. Bartons point and the of c. M. S. Of increased funding for the n. I. H. With every single one of our guests today across all political backgrounds, all fields, all agencies and everything but its really not just a matter of lets just increase the budget of the n. I. H. And or the f. D. A. Because its not linear. Its not like purchasing things. Its not like purchasing warships or Something Like that. You spend x amount of money and you get y amount of cures. Thats why these discussions are difficult. It is, number one, the amount of funding. We still are the top we have the biggest commitment of any country in th
Admissions. And so, the court was presented with a question of whether the states voters could essentially ban affirmative action in that fashion. Uhhuh. And so, youre exactly right that this is sort of following up from the opinion 11 years ago, the gruder decision up holding the constitutional of race conscious admissions at the university of michigan. Whats important to keep in mind is that it is technically not an opinion thats about affirmative action in education across the board. So, it does nothing to alter the constitutionality across the board of those kinds of policies so it hasnt changed the holding of the gruder decision 11 years ago. It said that under the equal protection clause colleges and universities could create narrowly tailored Race Relations programs and also the probably opinion that got maybe more publicity last year, fischer versus university of texas because it was decided at the very end of the term. That was looking at the constitutionality of the universit

Events,have marijuana plantn grow the best pot and jointrolling contest and things like that. It is becoming such a way of life here in colorado and frankly people that even voted for amendment 64, the legalization, had no idea that it would look like this and it would become so commercialized. A lot of people felt like it was just for small amounts of marijuana for adults in the privacy of their own home. Yet we have open and public use all over denver.
