Law's Ayesha Bell Hardaway weighs in on Cleveland's unmet reform goals

WEWS: Ayesha Bell Hardaway, professor of law and director of the Social Justice Institute, cautioned that eight reform areas weren’t addressed in Cleveland’s motion to end its 2015 consent decree and stressed that “the substance of the work remains.” She also noted the unusual alignment with the Trump DOJ, suggesting the move reflects shifting federal priorities rather than fully completed reforms.
