From New York Law School’s website:
“Professor Denise Morgan, a professor of education policy and the law, federal courts, civil procedure, and a seminar on race and American history at New York Law School and advocate for fiscal equity in public education in New York, died April 8 after a long illness. She was 41.
“In a statement to the New York Law School community, Dean Richard A. Matasar called Professor Morgan “an amazing woman–kind, energetic, smart, dedicated, committed, and courageous.” He added: “She was an extraordinary colleague and an inspiration to students and faculty members alike. Our school grew with her and her loss leaves us with a hole in our hearts and a void in leadership that will be difficult to replace.”
