		<description><![CDATA[In his Sunday column, George Will writes about a study by Byran O&#8217;Keefe and Dr. Richard Vedder (an Ohio University professor and scholar with the Buckeye Institute) that illustrates how the Supreme Court&#8217;s expansion of the concept of &#8220;disparate impact&#8221; affected higher education. In 1971 the Supreme Court expanded the 1964 Civil Rights Act to outlaw any [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unions and their allies in Congress have been pushing legislation for the past few years that would undermine a variety of worker and business owner protections currently in the law.
