would it be safe to label Gutmann as a liberal? I have her argument on Multiculturalism in mind, for which she defends 'Deliberative universalism', a set of standards of social justice upon which individuals of a society must rely to deliberate and reach social consensus. Figurecase liberalism as far as I understand it? 212.219.238.156 16:53, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

It would be safe to label her that as a thinker, I believe. However, in practice she's celebrated the disenfranchisement of the graduate employees who voted to form a union at U Penn, where she's President. (See GET-UP.) So - my guess would be, in theory, a liberal, in practice, something further to the right.

Is this the same Amy Gutmann who co-authored Scalia's book?

Right now, both 1950 and 1949 are listed as her birth year. Anyone know the real year she was born?
