Important notice re: School of Law assignment due dates

Dear students and faculty,

Pursuant to the University’s recent class cancelation announcement, no course due dates may be enforced prior to the end of Spring Break.  Due dates should be adjusted so that nothing is due while classes are suspended.  It’s best to think of the class suspension period as one extended spring break.  Nothing is due during the break, but work may be taking place on assignments – reading, writing papers, studying, and the like – which are due on the day that classes resume (March 30th) or later.

Faculty members should revise due dates accordingly and communicate the revised dates to their students as soon as possible.

If you have questions about this policy, please let me or Dean Janoski-Haehlen know.  If students have questions about particular assignments, please contact your professors.

Thanks all for your patience and flexibility as we work through the many issues presented by recent events.

Best,

CJP

Author biography

César Cuauhtémoc García Hernández is a writer and law professor at the University of Denver who focuses on migration policing. In December 2019, he published his second book, Migrating to Prison: America’s Obsession with Locking Up Immigrants, about the United States’ reliance on prisons to enforce immigration law. Kirkus calls Migrating to Prison “a chilling, timely overview of the American tendency to first exploit and then criminalize migrants.”

His analyses frequently appear in leading news sources in the United States and abroad. He has written for The New York Times, The Guardian, Newsweek, Salon, and more. In recent months, he has made appearances on MSNBC, BBC, National Public Radio, CNN Español, Public Radio International, and many other publications.

César publishes crimmigration.com, a blog about the convergence of criminal and immigration law. He has been a Fulbright scholar in Slovenia and is currently a member of the American Bar Association Commission on Immigration. In 2015, he published his first book, Crimmigration Law.

César’s impact has been recognized by the Association of American Law Schools Section on Minority Groups which, in 2014, gave him its Derrick A. Bell, Jr. Award, issued to a professor who “has made an extraordinary contribution to legal education, the legal system or social justice.” In 2019, the Civil Rights Education and Enforcement Center granted him its Challenging Discrimination Award.
