The UC Davis Forums: Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar

California Supreme Court Justice Mariano-Florentino Cuéllar will join us in a discussion moderated by Associate Vice Chancellor of Academic Diversity Raquel Aldana. Discussion: In this wide-ranging discussion, Justice Cuéllar will speak on a variety of law and policy issues, including many of the challenges facing higher education today. These issues are timely and important in light of recent national discussions over such issues as admissions policies and practices, Statements on Contributions to Diversity and Equity, immigration policies, and DACA. Taking the long view from his years of experience working on issues of equity and excellence, Justice Cuéllar is in a unique position to reflect on the import of college access in the context of the California Master Plan for Higher Education.
