Is the Constitution in danger?

Tom Ginsburg, professor of international law at the University of Chicago, will deliver the Kormendy Lecture at 4 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 13 at the law college. He will discuss “How to lose constitutional democracy – and how to save it.”

In his talk, Ginsburg will explore if the United States is at risk of democratic backsliding and if the Constitution can prevent it. As he notes, to some, the 2016 election campaign brought this question to the forefront, while to others, the election represented a populist accountability movement against an unresponsive elite.

ONU nursing highly ranked

Ohio Northern’s nursing program is ranked 5th in the state among 89 schools that offer nursing degrees. The ranking was determined by RegisteredNursing.org and was based on the pass rate success of students who took the state board examination. 

It said this about Ohio Northern’s program:

“Small class sizes, faculty support and post-graduate career support are some of the few attributes of the Ohio Northern University nursing program. A well-balanced BSN or MSN program of theoretical and practical experiences help individuals graduate at the top of the field. Get all the program details by visiting the Ohio Northern University website.”
