October 11/Cleveland: The Global Challenge of Institutional Change

In a conversation with School of Law Co-Dean Michael Scharf, President Hiram Chodosh of Claremont McKenna College will reflect on 30 years of professional experience in institutional change in two domains: legal system reform and higher education innovation. From his field work and scholarship in India on civil justice delay, in Indonesia on corruption and in Iraq on constitutional reform, to his current leadership on the big educational issues of access and affordability, freedom of expression, integrated sciences, and others, this dialogue will explore how can we do better at facing our challenges and improving the performance of our vitally important local and global institutions. President Chodosh returns to his first academic home here at Case Western Reserve to reflect, learn and engage.
