School Segregation In Jefferson County And Seattle: The Impact Of The Parents Involved Ruling And District Actions, William J. Glenn
School Segregation In Jefferson County And Seattle: The Impact Of The Parents Involved Ruling And District Actions, William J. Glenn
Cleveland State Law Review
This paper focuses on the two districts directly involved in the Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1 (PICS) (2007) case with regard to how their desegregation plans and levels of segregation changed over time. The study emphasizes how segregation levels changed in response to changes in the plans and, in particular, to the Supreme Court ruling in PICS. The results differed greatly between the two districts. The voluntary desegregation plan in Jefferson County, Kentucky, proved far more effective than its Seattle counterpart in terms of maintaining a relatively low level of segregation prior to the …

Turnaround In Reverse: Brown, School Improvement Grants, And The Legacy Of Educational Opportunity, Natasha M. Wilson, Robert N. Strassfeld
Cleveland State Law Review
As we reflect upon the sixtieth anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, it is critical to not only assess policies advanced during the Obama administration that are aimed at reducing the continuing disparity for minority and economically disadvantaged students, but to also reflect upon what Secretary Duncan called the paradox of educational progress that continues to persist. Part II explores the effort to realize Brown’s promise of integration and equal educational opportunity. It describes a slow but significant history of gains, which has since been thwarted as Brown has been rendered doctrinally impotent. It then considers the relationship …

Desegregation As A Two-Way Street: The Aftermath Of United States V. Fordice, Chaka M. Patterson
Desegregation As A Two-Way Street: The Aftermath Of United States V. Fordice, Chaka M. Patterson
Cleveland State Law Review
As a result of the problems encountered by these various proposals, I propose a plan of my own that preserves HBUs to the extent that they are desegregated along with the white institutions rather than just eliminated. In this way, the burdens of integration are shared in both communities by both sets of institutions. More specifically, with respect to higher education in Mississippi, I propose the following solution to address the current situation: first, Mississippi should close or merge some of the HWUs but not the HBUs for the reasons previously articulated and then adopt a two tier system of …

Due Process As A Management Tool In Schools And Prisons, Elisabeth T. Dreyfuss, Jane C. Knapp
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will explore due process as an effective tool for the management of schools and prisons through a close scrutiny of the fourteenth amendment. The authors will attempt to identify emerging trends in case law and give special attention to Bell v. Wolfish, which may point to a new direction in due process analysis under the Burger Court. The purpose of this article is to propose radical reform of schools and prisons through the involvement of their populations and staffs in the rule-making process. Spawned by a firm belief that only through such democratic processes can the violence and …
