 ernment for the governed—has come under scrutiny. The Office of Management 
 and Budget is reviewing significant changes for 2030: reclassifying nonciti
 zens as nonresident\, the rollback of race/ethnicity data collection standa
 rds\, and the addition of a citizenship question. Changes to privacy protec
 tion have also been proposed that would have profound effects on how much C
 ensus data can be shared. These concerns\, plus a recent spate of scholarsh
 ip on the Census\, invite a conversation around Census data at the Harvard 
 Law School Library.</p><p>On October 1\, the <a href="https://lil.law.harva

 panel of legal\, technological\, and policy experts to consider how the pre
 servation of and access to US Census data can be both appreciated and reima
