“As we work to understand the impacts of the federal transition on how we continue to meet our mission, this series, led by our renowned faculty and staff experts, provides a vital ingredient to our response,” said Chancellor Justin Schwartz. 

“When we understand the complex relationships of the three branches of government to our mission of research, teaching and service, we can move ahead in a spirit of civic dialogue and a strengthened commitment to democracy and our mission,” Schwartz said. 

“This is an excellent dual opportunity for our shared governance organizations to promote an event program that educates the university community on how the federal government works and leverages the knowledge, scholarship and experience of ��ɫ��Ƶ faculty and staff,” said Boulder Faculty Assembly Chair Shelly Miller. 

The first two events are moderated panel discussions. The first, titled “Is There Anything the Government Can’t Do: Executive Actions and Checks and Balances,” is an in-person session on Monday, March 10, at 5 p.m. in CASE E422. .

The event features a panel that includes E.

It is moderated by Elias Sacks, associate professor in the Department of Religious Studies and Program in Jewish Studies and faculty director for public scholarship, Office of Faculty Affairs. 

The second event, a Zoom-based webinar, will be held on Monday, March 17, at 5 p.m. Titled “Universities and American Politics: Promise, Perils and Possibilities,” it is also moderated by Sacks and includes panelists Heather Bené of the CU system’s Office of Government Relations; Janet Donavan, professor of political science; and Kevin Welner, professor of education and director of the National Education Policy Center at the School of Education. .
