2012 CSRC Latina/o Education Summit: Law and Policy - Conversations across the Disciplines

The seventh annual Latina/o Education Summit will take place on Friday, October 5, at UCLA. This year’s summit will focus on litigation and legislation that relate to the education of Chicanos and Latinos. The conference will be national in scope, featuring panelists from across the United States. The event is sponsored by the CSRC, with the UCLA School of Law and MALDEF, and it will be hosted by Chon A. Noriega, CSRC director, Rachel Moran, dean of the UCLA School of Law, and Thomas Saenz, president and general counsel of MALDEF. Panel topics for 2012 are:

• The emerging trend of Latino resegregation, including contemporary battles around school financing and affirmative action.
• The challenge of addressing the needs of Latino children who have disabilities and are English-language learners without seeing these needs in competition.
• The interface between education and immigration law and policy in light of new anti-immigrant laws enacted at the state level.
