Distinguished Visitor Slot Open at Kentucky Law--Any Education Law Takers?

Each year, the University of Kentucky College of Law brings to campus for a one-semester visit a distinguished scholar of law to add even more vibrancy to our already vibrant intellectual environment.  In the inaugural year, we hosted noted constitutional law and legal history scholar William Wiecek, and this year we are honored to host noted tax scholar Nina Crimm.  I post the Call for Nominations and Applications here because (1) the position is not limited by field; and (2) it would be great to see a distinguished education law scholar get the position.  Here's the announcement:
