Fordham Scholars Announced
Fordham has announced the winners of their Fordham Scholars program that is oriented toward educational law this year. Each of the winners will receive a $25,000 grant to investigate their topic and publish their results in peer-reviewed journals.
All of them sound like great studies and I can't wait to see them in the journals. I want to congratulate the winners and commend the Fordham Foundation for awarding these grants looking into how the courts affect K-12 education. I hope you make that the theme every year!
Nora Gordon, an economist at UCSD, plans to look at how litigation has affected homeschooling legislation.
Daniel Nadler, a Ph.D. student at Harvard in Government, plans to study influences on educational judicial ideologies.
And Jason Snyder, a teacher, Ph.D. candidate at Teacher's College, and former Hogan and Hartson lawyer (very impressive Jason, can't wait to get you into a ed. leadership faculty position soon), plans to survey school administrator's views on school authority in light of the additional discretion handed to them by the courts regarding school discipline issues.
