The Challenges Facing Academic Freedom And Free Speech, Keith E. Whittington Apr 2025

The Challenges Facing Academic Freedom And Free Speech, Keith E. Whittington

Catholic University Law Review

There are growing challenges to free speech and academic freedom on American college campuses. There is pressure from both the political left and the political right to suppress controversial speech on campus, and there are calls to restrict speech that come both from members of the campus community and from those beyond the campus gates. In this difficult environment, it is essential that academics both understand the principles of academic freedom and campus free speech and work to advocate for them.

Re-Evaluating Fulton V. City Of Philadelphia: A “Narrow” “Wisp” Of A Decision Or Free Exercise “Bedrock?”, Mark Rienzi Apr 2025

Re-Evaluating Fulton V. City Of Philadelphia: A “Narrow” “Wisp” Of A Decision Or Free Exercise “Bedrock?”, Mark Rienzi

Catholic University Law Review

In Fulton v. City of Philadelphia (2021), a unanimous Supreme Court held that Philadelphia violated the Free Exercise Clause by excluding Catholic Social Services from participating in its foster program because CSS would not certify same-sex couples. Both supporters and critics of the Court’s decision publicly characterized the decision as “narrow” and noted that Philadelphia (and other governments) can easily sidestep Fulton and continue excluding religious providers from foster and adoption programs.

Four years later, the evidence shows that Fulton is anything but narrow. In Philadelphia and in other jurisdictions, Fulton has played a strong role in ending litigation against …


Prenatal Personhood, State Duties, And Congress’S Abortion Power Under The Fourteenth Amendment, David R. Upham Apr 2025

Prenatal Personhood, State Duties, And Congress’S Abortion Power Under The Fourteenth Amendment, David R. Upham

Catholic University Law Review

Many antiabortion jurists have contended that by its original meaning, the Fourteenth Amendment not only (1) recognizes the personhood of prenatal human beings, but also (2) requires states to have and enforce the antiabortion laws necessary to the equal protection of these prenatal persons, and even (3) empowers Congress to pass remedial antiabortion laws where the state fail to protect such persons.

In this essay, I will contend that the Amendment does indeed recognize the personhood of prenatal human beings, but largely leaves with the states the authority to determine the scope of the protection to be afforded such persons. …


The Final Frontier Of Federal Power: Understanding, Defining, And Enforcing “Necessary And Proper” To Enhance The General Welfare And Limit Federal Power, Thomas Ralph Apr 2025

The Final Frontier Of Federal Power: Understanding, Defining, And Enforcing “Necessary And Proper” To Enhance The General Welfare And Limit Federal Power, Thomas Ralph

Catholic University Law Review

This comment explores the long and inconsistent history of the Necessary and Proper Clause and its unique role as both a grant of power to Congress and a limit on the outer reach of the federal government. The federal government is in theory one of limited powers; however, this promise of the Constitution cannot be truly recognized without developing a robust framework for applying the Necessary and Proper Clause as a reliable source of federal power. After establishing the need for a framework, this comment provides five judicial decision rules that can be applied by trial and appellate courts to …

Open Accessarticle Crystal Plasticity Modeling Of Dislocation Density Evolution In Cellular Dislocation Structures, Md Mahabubur Rohoman, Caizhi Zhou Apr 2025

Open Accessarticle Crystal Plasticity Modeling Of Dislocation Density Evolution In Cellular Dislocation Structures, Md Mahabubur Rohoman, Caizhi Zhou

Faculty Publications

The complex thermal cycles during the solidification process in metal additive manufacturing (AM) lead to the formation of high-density dislocation networks, organizing into submicron-scale cellular structures. These ultrafine structures are recognized as crucial for enhancing the mechanical properties of AM metals. In this study, we investigate the evolution of dislocation density within these cellular structures under plastic deformation and its impact on mechanical response using dislocation density-based crystal plasticity finite element (CPFE) modeling. The model incorporates the evolution of both statistically stored dislocation (SSD) and geometrically necessary dislocation (GND). Our simulations reveal that the yield and flow stresses of dislocation …

Removing Eog Artifacts From Eeg Recordings Using Deep Learning, Christian O'Reilly, Scott Huberty Apr 2025

Removing Eog Artifacts From Eeg Recordings Using Deep Learning, Christian O'Reilly, Scott Huberty

Faculty Publications

The electroencephalogram (EEG) directly measures the electrical activity generated by the brain. Unfortunately, it is often contaminated by various artifacts, notably those caused by eye movements and blinks (EOG artifacts). Such artifacts are usually removed using an independent component analysis (ICA) or other blind source separation techniques. However, it is difficult to assess whether subtracting EOG components estimated through ICA removes some neurogenic activity. It is crucial to address this question to avoid biasing EEG analyses. Toward that objective, we developed a deep learning model for EOG artifact removal that exploits information about eye movements available through eye-tracking (ET). Using …


A Matter Of Public Concern: Eliminating The Public Concern Test To Safeguard New York Times Co. V. Sullivan, Alyssa T. Calcerano Apr 2025

A Matter Of Public Concern: Eliminating The Public Concern Test To Safeguard New York Times Co. V. Sullivan, Alyssa T. Calcerano

Catholic University Law Review

In recent years, Justices Thomas and Gorsuch have expressed a strong interest in reconsidering, and perhaps overruling, the landmark defamation decision, New York Times Co. v. Sullivan. The Court’s defamation jurisprudence has undergone many changes since the landmark case was decided, namely, the Court has since adopted a test known as the “public concern” test. Though adopted by only a plurality of the Court, the “public concern” test has been integrated into the defamation decisions of lower federal courts and state courts. This comment encourages the Court to abandon any push toward the wholesale abandonment of Sullivan and, instead, …

Chun Lin V. Lu Mei Chen

All Decisions

In this holdover based on a terminated month-to-month tenancy, the landlord alleged personal service of a 90-day termination notice, but the tenant denied receipt. At trial, both parties presented witnesses supporting their version: the landlord's unlicensed process server claimed personal service, while the tenant's friend testified the tenant was in Brooklyn on the service date. The court found both witnesses credible but equally interested, creating evidentiary equipoise. Because the burden of proving service rested with the landlord and the evidence did not preponderate in his favor, the court held that valid service had not been established. The petition was dismissed …

Central Harlem Associates Llc V. Robbins

All Decisions

In this holdover proceeding involving a LIHTC property, the tenant moved to dismiss on grounds that the landlord failed to serve a Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) notice as required by federal regulations prior to eviction. The landlord conceded the omission but argued no prejudice resulted and that the tenant had prior knowledge of VAWA rights. The court rejected these defenses, holding that predicate notice defects are fatal and not subject to amendment, emphasizing the mandatory nature of VAWA compliance. The petition was dismissed without prejudice. Practice note: In federally subsidized housing, omission of required predicate notices such as VAWA …

Re-Framing The Master Narratives Of Learning Dis/Abilities Through An Emotion And Intersectional Lens, David I. Hernández-Saca

Faculty Publications

In this conceptual framework paper, I critically chronicle the historiography, policy, and scientific literatures of learning disabilities (ld) and provide a conceptual framework for reframing these as master narratives. I defined master narratives as the pre-existent sociocultural forms of interpretation. I interrogated the a) cultural-historical; b) the federal definition of ld within idea, c) the educational-professional academic and focused on, the d) social and emotional literature of ld. The master narratives from these literatures included: a) ld as a boy who struggles with reading, ld as a symbolic complex, and the legacy of the term "feebleminded", d) assumptions about learning, …

Book Review: Knife Fights: A Memoir Of Modern War In Theory And Practice, Brennan Deveraux Apr 2025

Book Review: Knife Fights: A Memoir Of Modern War In Theory And Practice, Brennan Deveraux

Parameters Bookshelf – Online Book Reviews

Author: John A. Nagl

Reviewed by Major Brennan Deveraux, national security researcher, Strategic Studies Institute, US Army War College

Today’s force still has plenty to learn about counterinsurgency from Operation Desert Storm. John Nagl’s Knife Fights: A Memoir of Modern War in Theory and Practice “a book about counterinsurgency and its journey from the far periphery of US military doctrine to its center, for better and, some would argue, for worse.” The reviewer notes, Nagl’s work “provides a tangible example of the impact junior leaders can have on the service.”
