Libraries are “uber-local,” a pulse of the community. They are a curator of resources, not some evil distributor of propaganda. Their books are carefully chosen for their worth, content, diverse viewpoints and community interests, not to indoctrinate or manipulate. Those books should be celebrated, debated or criticized but not banned.

“The (conservative) justices are opposed (to Chevron) I think for two different reasons, and the first is, in all other contexts, judges make the final call as to what Congress meant in passing statutes. ... So under Chevron, the courts have to share this special function with agencies who they view as unelected bureaucrats or politicians,” said Harold Krent, constitutional law professor at Chicago-Kent College of Law. “... The other reason is that this particular court is very skeptical of administrative agencies and administrative agencies’ power. They love presidential power, but they don’t like the power of the bureaucrats beneath him.”
Alison Yurchak will graduate from her five-year, dual-degree program at Illinois Institute of Technology this spring with a bachelor’s in biomedical engineering and a master’s in chemical engineering. She already has a postgraduation job lined up at Procter & Gamble as a baby-care engineer, which she thinks will be a good fit for her personality, interests and skill set. Why the confidence? Yurchak says that she heeded the advice her parents gave her going into college directly from high school—to “take every internship you can and try everything.”
With the Supreme Court set to hear cases with mammoth implications for both the 2024 election and abortion access, the term “has taken on tremendous weight that was not evident at the start,” says Carolyn Shapiro, co-director of the Chicago-Kent College of Law’s Institute on the Supreme Court of the United States. “On the other hand, it’s not entirely unpredictable we find ourselves in this situation,” she adds.
