'Should the U.S. adopt a constitutional amendment banning corporate personhood?' - Feb. 2, 2012
by Jamie Gonzales |
Thursday, Feb. 2, 7-9 p.m.
UAA/APU Consortium Library, Room 307
Join us for a debate by the award-winning UAA Speech and Debate team, followed by
a faculty response panel and a facilitated public discussion on this important and
timely topic. Free and open to the public.
In 2010, the Supreme Court ruled Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission to
uphold the rights of corporations to make unlimited political expenditures under the
First Amendment. Since that time, there have been several calls for a Constitutional
amendment to abolish "corporate personhood," calls which have intensified recently.
This event is part of a series sponsored by the UAA Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence
since 2003 to offer the Anchorage community access to university resources as a basis
for discussions of policies and issues affecting its future. For more information,
