OLLI AT THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY 2

CRITICAL THINKING FOR THE PRESERVATION OF OUR DEMOCRACY LIVE STREAM LECTURE SERIES WITH OSHER AT DARTMOUTH COLLEGE THURSDAYS, JULY 11 - AUGUST 15, 9 - NOON • UK GATTON STUDENT CENTER Tickets Complementary•Advanced Registration Required•Visit www.uky.edu/olli For More Info

JULY 11: Freedom of Speech Moderator: David Bisno, Constitutional law scholar; Speaker: Owen Fiss, Professor of Law, Yale Law School; Speaker: Akhil Reed AmarProfessor of Law, Yale College and Yale Law SchoolFreedom of speech, enshrined in the First Amendment, grants all Americans the liberty to speak their minds without the fear of being censored or persecuted. But there are limitations, and lawmakers and judges continue to struggle with balancing free speech protections with the necessity of maintaining a civil and peaceful society. Should inflammatory hate speech be allowed? Should an invited guest at a college be shouted down, threatened, or even physically abused because of radically opposing views? Confrontations are escalating.

JULY 18: Gun RightsModerator: John Garvey, Professor, UNH School of Law; Speaker: Erin Murphy, Partner and Litigator, Kirkland & Ellis law firm; Speaker: Joseph Blocher, Professor, Duke Law SchoolThe Second Amendment to the Constitution established that “a well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed”. Nowhere does it define “arms”, and it neither permits nor denies gun ownership for private purposes. In 2008, the Supreme Court decided that individuals have an inherent right to own handguns for lawful purposes. But does “handguns” include assault rifles? And Sandy Hook and other tragedies have raised the profile of the gun rights issue to our schools and churches. Is it legal to monitor everyone who has been treated for mental illness?

JULY 25: Affirmative Action Moderator: Dan Benjamin, Director, John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, Dartmouth College; Speaker: Neal Katyal, Partner, Hogan Lavells Law Firm; Professor of Law, Georgetown University; Speaker: Linda Chavez, Chairman/CEO of the Center for Equal OpportunityMost U.S. colleges are implementing special Affirmative Action admission policies where academic achievement is only one factor, designed to generate a student body with more economic, racial, sexual, and global diversity. They claim their broader student diversity pool results in enhanced multicultural understanding and critical thinking. Opponents of these policies claim they unfairly discriminate against applicants with better academic qualifications, and thus are a violation of civil rights laws. Several Asian-American students among this group have just sued Harvard, alleging racial discrimination. What are the legal merits of each position?

AUGUST 1: Freedom of the PressModerator: Richard Tofel, President of ProPublica, a non-profit investigative journalism organization in NYC; Speaker: RonNell Andersen Jones, Professor of Law, University of Utah Quinney College of Law; Speaker: Andy Phillips, Partner and Litigator, Clare Locke law firm (DC)Freedom of the press has been regarded as an essential right in a democracy in which the government is accountable to the people. A free media can be a watchdog that reports government wrongdoing, and it can be free to promote different and sometimes radical opinions on issues. Recently, as the media have proliferated and we have entered the digital world, many of them have reported blatantly inaccurate and “fake news”. Some dark websites have become a forum for bigots, spewing hate rhetoric and inciting unlawful violence. Should some limitations be imposed?

AUGUST 8: Individual PrivacyModerator: Peter Teachout, Professor of Law, Vermont Law School; Speaker: Jennifer Daskal, Professor of Law, American University Washington College of Law (DC); Speaker: Neil Richards, Professor of Law, Washington University in St. Louis Law SchoolThe Fourth Amendment to the Constitution restricts actions of the government to intrude into the privacy of its citizens, ensuring their security in their persons, houses, and property, and their protection against unreasonable searches and seizures. Law enforcement officers in today’s digital world, however, have found new ways to track individuals and get possible incriminating data without a warrant. Authorities and social media can pervasively use an individual’s personal data to track that person’s behavior and communications. Should limits be placed on these actions? AUGUST 15: Voting Rights Moderator: John Greabe, Professor of Law, UNH Law School; Speaker: Debo Adegbile, Partner, Wilmer Hale Law Firm, Speaker: Bradley Smith, Professor of Law, Capital University Law SchoolThe Voting Rights Act of 1965 outlawed all discriminatory voting practices that denied people the right to vote. But some states have enacted practices that can suppress voter rights – literacy tests, ID cards, residency requirements, purges of voter rolls, and gerrymandering. Are these suppressions legal? And, in 2010, the Supreme Court ruled that corporations and special interest groups have a free speech right to spend unlimited amounts of money in elections. This can drown out other voices and diminish the ability of many voters to hear other views and thus make reasoned decisions.
