Alena Allen. Resigned from Memphis Law School due to a lack of minority hires. Not a lot of academic scholarship but the ones she does have are interesting. Seems like she focuses on race. Should be interesting

Not shocking with who LSU's President is.

And she picked...LSU?
We uh, have major problems with marginalized student populations, to the point where admissions were SUPER low when I was there, leading to secret lectures and test prep for minority students only.

How else are they going to fundamentally change the culture at LSU? The LSU President needs to get his allies on board.

Dude I was admitted to LSU Law for 2005 Fall semester and they literally could not get suitable minority students in. The ABA had already threatened them. They had a pre-semester seminar to ease them in prior to school starting and secret classes to keep them from failing out.
LSU just can't recruit quality minority candidates b/c they always get into 2-3 tiers above their tests/LSAT. A black female with my scores would have easily gotten into Yale or Harvard (b/c they are just as desperate to recruit them and are obviously a better tier of school).
If you left Memphis b/c you couldn't recruit minority students, LSU is probably top-10 worst option you could have chosen.
*ETA: To summarize, LSU has tried for 20+ years to recruit more minority populations and has such a problem with it the ABA allegedly threatened their accreditation. This leads LSU to hit the bare minimum with unqualified students who have LSATs in the 130s and 140s.

I've always wondered if we are doing a disservice to people by constantly admitting them to institutions where their peers IN THOSE INSTITUTIONS will basically always be a tier or two above them academically.

Law schools were taken over by radicals decades ago. Progressives use activist lawyers to shite on the population.

I didn't find out about the secret classes until 2L or 3L year (and it was a shite show), but my legal writing class had a lady explaining how she did the summer class. She lasted about a week of real school

What's amusing is that this was readily admitted on mainstream law websites 10+ years ago, including by left leaning people and the minority candidates themselves. I assume it's completely taboo to acknowledge this now. LawSchoolNumbers is still around last I checked, which, while user-reported, shows this reality perfectly.

This isn’t just the LSU law schools. This is happening at every single company and government entity in America.

What law allows the ABA to do this?
I know it doesn't have anything to do with laws, but just wondering where the legality lays.
