As a competitor and a young coach, I was well on my way down this same path—if you weren’t a national fi nalist you weren’t much; if you didn’t win you were a loser. Had I continued down this route, my 600th victory at William and Mary would have been a great occasion and accomplishment—a validation of my coaching career—but it also could have been rather hollow as Former William and Mary President Timothy J.

  • Lessons on Political Speech, Academic Freedom, and University Governance from the New North Carolina
    LESSONS ON POLITICAL SPEECH, ACADEMIC FREEDOM, AND UNIVERSITY GOVERNANCE FROM THE NEW NORTH CAROLINA * Gene Nichol Things don’t always turn out the way we anticipate. Almost two decades ago, I came to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) after a long stint as dean of the law school in Boulder, Colorado. I was enthusiastic about UNC for two reasons. First, I’m a southerner by blood, culture, and temperament. And, for a lot of us, the state of North Carolina had long been regarded as a leading edge, perhaps the leading edge, of progressivism in the American South. To be sure, Carolina’s progressive habits were often timid and halting, and usually exceedingly modest.1 Still, the Tar Heel State was decidedly not to be confused with Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, or my home country, Texas. Frank Porter Graham, Terry Sanford, Bill Friday, Ella Baker, and Julius Chambers had cast a long and ennobling shadow. Second, I have a thing for the University of North Carolina itself. Quite intentionally, I’ve spent my entire academic career–as student, professor, dean, and president–at public universities. I have nothing against the privates. But it has always seemed to me that the crucial democratizing aspirations of higher education in the United States are played out, almost fully, in our great and often ambitious state institutions. And though they have their challenges, the mission of public higher education is a near-perfect one: to bring the illumination and opportunity offered by the lamp of learning to all. Black and white, male and female, rich and poor, rural and urban, high and low, newly arrived and ancient pedigreed–all can, the theory goes, deploy education’s prospects to make the promises of egalitarian democracy real.

  • The Restoration of Tolerance
    The Restoration of Tolerance Steven D. Smitht In this Article, ProfessorSmith examines the problems that inhere in a value-neutral version of liberalism. He argues that because governing necessarily entails choosing among competing visions of what is good or worthy ofprotection, neutrality is an empty ideal that is incapable of sup- porting a liberal community. Professor Smith therefore rejects the asser- tion that a society must choose between intolerance and neutrality. He argues instead that society's real choice is between tolerance and intoler- ance. He concludes that tolerance, which attempts to give proper respect and scope to the claims of both political community and individualfree- dom, is the only reasonablealternative to intolerance. He then uses recent free exercise of religion andfree speech cases to show how a theory of toler- ance might affect judicial doctrine. Tolerance is a very dull virtue. It is boring. Unlike love, it has always had a bad press. It is negative. It merely means putting up with people, being able to stand things. No one has ever written an ode to tolerance, or raised a statue to her. Yet this is the quality which will be most needed .... -E.M. Forster1 The current crisis in liberal democratic thought has led to a revival of interest in the concept of tolerance.2 Although it has never wholly disappeared from liberal diction, "tolerance," like "patriotism," "higher t Professor of Law, University of Colorado.

  • Statement of Constitutional Law Scholars on the Supreme Court Vacancy
    Statement of Constitutional Law Scholars on the Supreme Court Vacancy February 24, 2016 We write as constitutional law scholars to urge President Obama and the United States Senate to fulfill their constitutional duties with regard to the vacancy that exists on the Supreme Court because of the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. We do not write in support of or in opposition to any specific candidate. Rather, our position is simply that the President has the duty to nominate a candidate to fill the current Supreme Court vacancy and the Senate has the duty to “advise and consent,” which means to hold hearings and to vote on the nominee. Article II of the Constitution is explicit that the president “shall nominate . judges of the Supreme Court.” There is no exception to this provision for election years. Throughout American history, presidents have nominated individuals to fill vacancies during the last year of their terms. Likewise, the Senate’s constitutional duty to “advise and consent” – the process that has come to include hearings, committee votes, and floor votes – has no exception for election years. In fact, over the course of American history, there have been 24 instances in which presidents in the last year of a term have nominated individuals for the Supreme Court and the Senate confirmed 21 of these nominees. The Senate, of course, has discretion in the method of carrying out its constitutional duty to “advise and consent,” but for the Senate not to consider a nominee until after the next president is inaugurated would be unprecedented and would leave a vacancy that would undermine the ability of the Supreme Court to carry out its constitutional duties.
