The editor of “30 Trees: And Why Landscape Architects Love Them,” Illinois Institute of Technology Architecture Professor Ron Henderson, understands diversity as a value. Founder of Lirio Landscape Architecture, he brings together more than 30 contributors from across the field, each offering a meditation on a different tree species.
The SEC had already taken the hint from a 2018 case that the Supreme Court wasn't thrilled with in-house judges and cases and brought its most serious types of fraud cases to the courts, says James Tierney, assistant professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law and a former staff attorney for the agency. “The SEC doesn't have infinite resources, and so if the cost of settlement goes up, it means they're going to have fewer resources to bring enforcement actions,” Tierney says.
Performance-based admissions is about “how do you be inclusive, rather than making it difficult for professional learners, lifelong learners to aspire toward higher education,” said Mallik Sundharam, vice president for enrollment management and student affairs at Illinois Tech.
“I think everybody knows intellectually, you have to decide not to do it,” said Chicago-Kent Professor Richard Kling. “You realize if you get caught, you’re going to get in trouble. You see that with governor after governor and other politicians. The bottom line is they know if they get caught they’re in trouble, but like many other people, their thought is, I’m not going to get caught,”
“This is a court that claims to be an originalist court and, if nothing else, these opinions establish that originalism is not a straightforward approach and does not lead to greater certainty, despite the claims that originalists make,” said Carolyn Shapiro, the founder of Chicago-Kent College of Law's Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States. Originalism “can lead to different results depending on who is doing the analysis," she said, continuing: “It just simply does not provide the certainty that originalists claim.”
“There’s a limited amount you can do,” said attorney Katherine Baker, who teaches contract law at Chicago-Kent College of Law. “It is not the responsibility of the receiver to figure out where this came from. It's definitely not their responsibility to load up their car and bring all of this stuff to FedEx or UPS.” Since the family has made some effort to reach the person to whom the packages are supposed to be going, Baker said, “at some point, they can just discard it.”
Companies can choose when to use these warnings, which vary widely. For example, a 2017 survey conducted by the FDA and the Illinois Institute of Technology of 78 dark chocolate products found that almost two-thirds contained an advisory statement for peanuts; of those, only about four actually contained the allergen. Meanwhile, of 18 bars that carried no advisory statement for peanuts specifically, three contained the allergen.
“If you asked me 20 years ago if I would be working as a government affairs professional, I probably would have laughed,” said Adrienne Irmer, associate vice president of external affairs for the Illinois Institute of Technology. “Today, I have a very diverse resume: emergency management and preparedness, workforce development, marketing and communications, electoral campaign consulting, legislative affairs, government administration, public policy development, and even activism. All of this has informed my work and helped build a network of professionals to collaborate with and deepen my impact in my community.”
There are not one, but two, View-Master toys on display in A Living Room for Bronzeville, an exhibition at the Illinois Institute of Technology focused on how Mies van der Rohe’s epochal vision of the modern campus inflicted itself on its neighborhood. Invented by a Black alumnus Charles Harrison, the first View-Master accompanies media and ephemera on the cultural vitality of the South Side Bronzeville neighborhood. The second View-Master is a commemorative trinket celebrating the 2005 restoration of S. R. Crown Hall.
