The Tuesday Faculty Lunch Series welcomes Karen Graves presenting “Pivotal in His Absence: Lewis Powell’s Influence on the Legal Status of Lesbian and Gay Teachers.” Supreme Court Justice Lewis F. Powell, Jr. issued a number of critical educational policy decisions regarding affirmative action, desegregation, school funding, and gay rights. In this paper Graves explores two cases taken up by the Court in subsequent years: Board of Education v. National Gay Task Force (1985) and Bowers v. Hardwick (1986).
