Donald G. Hagman was a preeminent UCLA Law professor and internationally distinguished scholar in the fields of land-use planning, housing law, and state and local taxation. Academic lawyers and planners know him best for his seminal work, Windfalls for Wipeouts, which has shaped the current debate about landowners' right to compensation as a result of public regulation.
In honor of Don’s work, the Hagman Conference Scholarship Fund was established to continue his commitment to bridging the academic and practitioner realms. The fund supports the annual conference attendance of faculty members and students from various law schools and graduate planning schools.
Joanne L. Freilich, AICP, was a cherished professional, colleague, and friend who brought her dedication and expertise to UCLA Extension’s Public Policy Program for 15 years. She was exceptionally gifted in integrating the expertise of faculty, public, and private sector practitioners, generating meaningful dialogue that contributed to new regulatory frameworks.
To honor the lifework of Joanne, UCLA Extension proudly established the Joanne Freilich Public Policy Memorial Fund and the Joanne Freilich Scholarship Fund, providing scholarship support for students and new planning professionals attending UCLA Extension public policy courses and conferences. The scholarship was first announced on January 28, 2005 at the 19th Annual UCLA Extension Land Use Law and Planning Conference which was held in Joanne’s memory.
