The Fight for Fairer School Funding: A Discussion with Andru Volinsky, Lead attorney in the Claremont and other funding
litigation in New Hampshire.

Why is education funding in America so unequal? Education funding is a policy choice that involves a great deal of money. It can also be viewed as a matter of rights, or at least equal protection under the laws. In particular, financing schools through the
Property tax means that children in communities with less property wealth benefit from far fewer resources than those in wealthier communities, creating huge inequalities in
education and so life chances.

Since 1989, CWRU faculty, emeriti, students, staff, and friends have gathered on Fridays to discuss topics in public affairs at a brown bag lunch. As an aftermath of the pandemic, we now meet "dual delivery." Those who wish can attend in the KSL Dampeer Room, but others may choose to participate by Zoom. Use the link below to register and then be sent a link to participate.
