This year the College of Liberal Arts decided to host a panel discussion entitled: “With Liberty and Justice for All?: The Constitution and Civil Liberties.” With the goal of prompting civil discussion across campus, the panelists aimed to shed light on various historical and contemporary issues related how and why the Constitution — and, specifically, amendments to it — has aimed to define and protect the civil liberties of American citizens. Topics included the Bill of Rights, the Reconstruction amendments, women’s suffrage and the Equal Rights Amendment, freedom of the press, free speech and national security.”
Panel members:
Professor David Abruzzino
Dr. Bill Harrison
Dr. Fran Kirk
