Threading the Needle in Extreme Partisan Gerrymandering Cases
Get PDFRecent Supreme Court jurisprudence paints a grim picture for future reform to address extreme partisan gerrymandering. The decisions in Rucho v. Common Cause and Moore v. Harper appear to foreclose progress at both the federal and state level. Reformers must neither create unmanageable legal standards for adjudication in federal litigation, nor ask state courts to transgress ordinary bounds of judicial review when interpreting state laws that might address gerrymandering.
But there remains a path forward that focuses on clear and detailed state constitutional mandates to curb gerrymandering practices. Beneath their rhetoric, these decisions support clear legal rules over broader democratic principles or flexible constitutional standards. They provide space for state courts to interpret state laws that limit the worst gerrymandering behaviors of state legislators. And they also imply that the current Justices are motivated to create avenues for gerrymandering reform. Opponents of extreme partisan gerrymandering can thread the needle between Rucho’s rule-based rhetoric and Moore’s manageability masquerade
The Loss of Institutional Knowledge and Capital: The End of Notre Dame College
Get PDFNotre Dame College of Ohio was a staple in South Euclid Ohio for over 100 years, starting as a women’s training college and moving to a college helping local disadvantaged students experience a place of higher learning, closed in May 2024. Over a century of learning in their hallowed halls, students no longer sit in the classroom and venture the grounds.

Utilizing IMPLAN and the Center for Economic Development, this paper examines the economic impact of the closure of Notre Dame College on South Euclid, the undeniable trend of small college closures throughout the country, and the lasting impacts of these closures
