I remain because I am supportive of what I consider the more open, transparent approach to governance of a university including the right of my female colleagues to exercise their individual right to make decisions about their health and well being."<br /><br />Whew!

But the point here is that he is a willing participant in a rotten scheme and gets a cushy job and plenty of money in return for his role. His Columbia J.D. gives TJSL a shred of credibility and helps make it possible to suck in students.<br />The quality of applicants and students at TJSL is terrible compared to all the students at the other law schools. Nearly all do not belong in law school and the "profession" - the terrible hiring rates prove that. Nearly all should be doing something else. TJSL serves no societal function and should go out of business, or else it should be repurposed to train paralegals and teach criminal justice to cops, or something like that.<br />OK, he is an easy target because he writes these ridiculous PC articles and teaches courses like Race, Gender and Critical Studies that have nothing to do with the real world of lawyers. <br />A relative of mine is a professor of third-world literature and writes incomprehensible books larded with postmodernism, Foucault, Lacan, gender and race studies and all the ridiculous jargon that goes with it. But he teaches at a liberal arts college, where the students are basically there to pass the time, enjoy their youth and get a B.A. He doesn't pretend to teach anything practical. He does have graduate students, but the school gives them a free ride. Everybody knows the score. Also, he gets half the salary of a law prof, maybe less.<br />Law School on the other hand is a "professional" school, meaning that students pay to acquire practical skills so that they can get a job. You don't learn how to file motions, write complaints and run a trial from a class on Race and Gender Theory.<br />And yes, Wenger is not solely to blame for the TJSL travesty. There are 40-55 profs and administrators. They are all guilty, though especially the deans and tenured profs. If they had any character they would refuse to take money for a service the institution cannot provide -- employment as a lawyer. If they were to charge fair market value just for the time involved, tuition would be $7500-10,000 per year (which is what the unaccredited California law schools charge), not $45-50,000 per year.<br />(BTW, it is a cheap shot to criticize somebody for being a Mormon. Mormonism is as valid a system of ideas as Freemasonry, Scientology and Phrenology. This is a free country and you can believe anything you like.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-41362134057466846302013-10-21T14:23:42.506-06:002013-10-21T14:23:42.506-06:00"He is a good guy and it makes me sad to see ..."He is a good guy and it makes me sad to see him attacked like this."<br /><br />I'm sick to death of seeing these types of comments.<br /><br />Anyone who makes any money - from 1c to 1m - from the Scam is not a "good guy".<br /><br />It's like Hero Worship.<br /><br />"Hey, I know Chad.

I also think the anti-Mormon comments here debase this forum, but to each his own. There is nothing about Mormonism that is more preposterous than any other organized religion, it just seems that way because it is exotic and unfamiliar. There are plenty of accomplished, intelligent Mormons in law, the sciences, politics & business that show insanity is not a requisite to be a follower of the faith.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3660083024919144793.post-77880857123804693342013-10-21T08:32:45.743-06:002013-10-21T08:32:45.743-06:00"LSAT scores are linked to race and class. Th..."LSAT scores are linked to race and class. That's hard to deny."<br /><br />No it isn't. LSAT scores have nothing to do with race - to say otherwise is to say that minorities are somehow of inferior intellect. The LSAT does reward native intelligence, but it also rewards those who came from stable families and attended good schools. Since minorities are disproportionately from single-parent families and are for more likely to attend sub-standard schools they average lower on the LSAT. I also suspect that a lot of very bright young African-American men get sucked into a youth culture that glamorizes gangbangers and mocks honor students, and thus never get near the chance to take tests like the LSAT, MCAT, GMAT or GRE.
