Jessamine Pilcher, a student at IU McKinney, has had a project she co-wrote for a class published on the American Bar Association's website.
Titled, "The Incentives Behind Lunch Shaming," the piece explores the ways in which students who cannot pay for school lunches are sometimes treated in the lunch room, and the budgeting issues schools face that lead to these measures. Pilcher wrote the piece with William Moreau, a partner and chair of the higher education practice group at Barnes & Thornburg. It was published on the Young Lawyers Division page of the ABA's website.
Pilcher worked on the project as part of an Advanced Field Research assignment for Professor Cynthia Baker. Professor Baker is the director of the Program on Law and State Government at IU McKinney, and director of Experiential Learning at the law school.
