A Proposed Uniform System For Title Ix-Compliant Revenue Sharing In A New Era Of Intercollegiate Athletics, Jackson Schneider May 2026

A Proposed Uniform System For Title Ix-Compliant Revenue Sharing In A New Era Of Intercollegiate Athletics, Jackson Schneider

DePaul Journal for Social Justice

Revenue sharing between colleges and universities and their student-athletes marks one of the most significant developments in the NCAA’s nearly 120-year history. House v.

Legal Academia And Permanent Democracy: The Fault In Our Law Schools, Sara Dillon

DePaul Journal for Social Justice

It is widely recognized that the American Constitution is failing as the foundational document of a modern democracy. Although many basic principles of constitutionalism have faded into irrelevance, with rising authoritarianism eclipsing such core ideals as judicial independence, separation of powers and restraints on arbitrary use of power, America’s nearly 200 institutions of legal teaching and scholarship have provided little in the way of proposals for urgently needed law reform. It is striking that even with so many high-powered academic institutions, so few meaningful proposals for constitutional change have been presented to the public as a way out of our …
