The University of Baltimore's Henry A. Rosenberg Dialogue Series stimulates interactions among the public, private and nonprofit sectors on leading issues.
More a dialogue than a traditional lecture, each series session brings participants together to present a central issue, discuss the participants' assessments of it and explore how public-private and nonprofit partnerships can work together to resolve, advance or otherwise better the central issue.
Members of the business, nonprofit and academic communities—in addition to UBalt students, faculty, staff and alumni—are invited to participate in the forums that are always free and open to the public. Our goal is to facilitate networking and to encourage ideas that participants will then develop and implement.
Coordinated and led by Alan Lyles, Henry A. Rosenberg Professor of Government, Business and Nonprofit Partnerships, sessions include about 20-25 minutes for each panelist's presentation, followed by about 15 to 30 minutes for questions and answers.
Join us Wednesday, April 23, when The University of Baltimore Henry A. Rosenberg Dialogue Series presents:
The Supreme Court Reverses the Chevron Deference: Replacing Scientists Who Deal in Facts with Judges Who Deal in Opinions
The 2024 Supreme Court decision in Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo gave federal judges the authority to interpret the meaning of ambiguous statues. For the prior 40 years, the Supreme Court’s 1984 decision in Chevron U.S.A. v. Natural Resources Defense Council held the opposite, that agency expertise should receive deference in interpreting ambiguous statutes.
What happens now?
The implications are vast, including environmental, health, education, energy, commerce and more. The consequences of this recent shift to court policymaking have yet to be fully experienced, though our panel will give insightful assessments based on their experiences and expertise. They represent a legal understanding, a Public Affairs academic/ pracademic, and a career senior public sector executive.
