Dean Katherine Baicker to host conversation and present Justice Ginsburg with Deans Award
U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will visit the University of Chicago Harris School of Public Policy on Sept. 9 for a conversation hosted by Harris Public Policy Dean Katherine Baicker, who will award Justice Ginsburg the 2019 Harris Deans Award. The award is given annually to an exceptional leader who has championed analytically rigorous, evidence-based approaches to policy, and who is an example for the next generation of policy leaders and scholars.
The distinguished career of Ruth Bader Ginsburg serves as an inspiration for our students and for rising leaders around the world, Baicker said. Justice Ginsburgs leadership on the Court and her analytical approach to judicial decision-making exemplify the commitment and impact honored by the Harris Deans Award. We are thrilled to welcome Justice Ginsburg to the University of Chicago to speak with policy students and others who have so much to learn from her career.
The event will take place at the Universitys Reva and David Logan Center for the Arts, and the conversation will be streamed live online beginning at 4:30 p.m.
Justice Ginsburg has served on the United States Supreme Court for more than 25 years. She was nominated to the Court by President Bill Clinton, and she took her seat on Aug. 10, 1993. She had been previously appointed as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit in 1980.
Baicker, the dean of Harris Public Policy and the Emmett Dedmon Professor, is a leading scholar in the economic analysis of health policy, with research focusing on the effects of health system reform on health spending, outcomes and disparities. From 2005-2007, she served as a Senate-confirmed member of the Presidents Council of Economic Advisers.
She’s dead, Jim.
Exactly what a Supreme Court justice is *not* supposed to do.
A Supreme Court justice should be policy neutral.
This is a clear demonstration of the bankrupt morality of the Left.
Ginsburg is supposed to rule on the law, *not* on policy!
Evil like hers sure dies hard doesn’t it?
You're exactly right but tell any leftist that and they'll laugh right in your face. It's one of the reasons that at some point, we will not be able to coexist with them.
Perhaps she has already been taxidermy and so they will simply prop her on stage.
Maybe her body double will make the appearance.
U of Chicago, one the commie alma maters. Shell fit right in. Will there be any patriots there protesting her speech? Hope so.
She is supposed to be here in Little Rock, Ar on September 3rd I think. I am on the waiting list for a ticket. I can’t believe she has two speeches scheduled this close together.
Must be her body double.
Lately it seems the term “evidence-based” is used as just another euphemism for leftist. Evidence being whatever they say it is, if they bother to look at it at all.
I've never heard of this award but it's a great way to make it worth less than used toilet paper.
If they can do a whole hologram Tupac concert, this shouldnt be that big a deal.

When my son graduated from Tulane, Bill Clinton was a speaker along with Bush Sr.
They gave Bill an Honorary Law Degree. I laughed out loud.
Look, if she’s sitting on a guy’s lap and halfway through her talk she snarls, “Silence! I KEEL you!” I’m gonna have to be a little suspicious right here...

LOL...I wonder if Jeff is still doing his very funny, Achmed the Dead Terrorist routine? Too funny!!
In any event, someone should ask her what she thinks of people filing briefs threatening the Justices to either rule the way they want, or else and if they should be disbarred and / or held in contempt.
Right around the corner from Ayers, Dorne, & Onama. Sounds about right...
