THE EDUCATION JUSTICE: THE HONORABLE LEWIS FRANKLIN POWELL, JR.

The Honorable Lewis Franklin Powell, Jr. is “the education Justice” of the United States. During his tenure on the U.S. Supreme Court, from 1971 to 1987, Justice Powell authored at least twenty major opinions in education law, in addition to numerous significant concurrences and dissents. Just a sampling of Justice Powell\u27s majority opinions on education could form the bulk of an education law textbook recognizable by any American law student. This Article will explore some of Justice Powell\u27s major Supreme Court rulings in education law. It will also consider how these rulings may have related to aspects of Justice Powell\u27s life. In addition, the Article will briefly describe the Supreme Court\u27s current views on education and will attempt to describe how Justice Powell might analyze these issues today. At least one sitting Justice on the Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O\u27Connor, appears to have been influenced by Justice Powell\u27s views. Justice O\u27Connor occupies a similar ideological position on the Supreme Court as did Justice Powell, who wrote more than 250 majority opinions and whose “knack for being on the winning side never dropped below eighty per cent in any term, and often exceeded ninety per cent.

George Fox University in Founded by Friends: a Collection of Essays on the Quaker Colleges in America

Excerpt: George Fox University is owned by Northwest Yearly Meeting, which appoints all its trustees. Four-sevenths of these must be Friends, and this relationship keeps the institution close to its parent religious body. This being the case, a high degree of interaction exists between Northwest Yearly Meeting and the university, and this relationship is felt to be mutually beneficial. While the number of Friends students in the traditional undergraduate program has remained between 74 and 145 over the past three decades or more (making up between 4 and 15 percent of the traditional undergraduate population), aspects of Quaker identity are nonetheless present. The Center for Peace Learning (founded in 1985 by Lon Fendall at the recommendation of Lee Nash) was sparked by Mark 0. Hatfield\u27s question about what we are doing to resolve the problems of war. It was expanded into the Center for Peace and Justice in 2003, and its annual John Woolman Peacemaking Forum maintains a focus on the instructions of Jesus to be effective peacemakers in the world. Quaker Heritage Week (founded by Arthur Roberts and the Department of Religious Studies in 1975) endeavors to heighten the visibility of a particular aspect of our Friendly heritage in ways serviceable to all members of the community, not just Friends, and a variety of other campuswide emphases on Quaker concerns also address the furthering of the institution\u27s mission. Other special-interest weeks, including Spiritual Life, Multicultural, Missions, and Alcohol Awareness, as well as the Spring Theological Conference, provide special foci on particular concerns
