The 18th Annual Nolan Fowler Constitution Day at Tennessee Tech
Join us for the 18th Annual Nolan Fowler Constitution Day celebration. This year’s speaker is Dr. Elizabeth Kaufer Busch presenting The Constitutional Integrity of Title IX. Dr. Kaufer Busch has devoted extensive research to the evolving societal concepts of sex, gender and feminist thought. She authored the book Title IX: The Transformation of Sex Discrimination in Education, in which she examines how the 37-word Title IX law has transformed over forty years in regard to non-legislative processes.
In 2005, Dr. Nolan Fowler committed $150,000 to create the Nolan Fowler Endowment for Constitutional Development at Tennessee Tech. Dr. Fowler’s legacy has ensured that Tennessee Tech’s annual observance of Constitution Day reflects his love and commitment to education and allows for the program to bring in exceptional, nationally renowned speakers.
