Students will present on a current event (within the last year) ideally tied to a topic of the week or the course at large. Commenting on old or dead stories will not help your grade, nor will it help the relevance of the class discussion.
Note: find the ideas from, read the newspaper, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, or Diverse Issue. Prepared to relate at least one HIGHER EDUCATION legal issue about Financial Aid, Immigration, Undocumented Students or DACA Students, including:
1) the facts of the scenario;
2) the rule of principle of law involved;
3) the spectrum of possible outcomes;
4) the policy implications for the institution of higher education;
5) how you might have resolved the legal issues differently, and why.
This is a simple verbal presentation, no need to prepare PPT slides. However, we simply ask that you are engaging and well-versed on the current event by pulling in a variety of perspectives and sources.
