this is from his blog
quote:


Ultimately, I fear Apprenticeship-Week-faculty homogeneity is a symptom of a greater illness—the Law Center’s systemic lack of commitment to diversity. As a result of the Law Center’s having a disproportionately low number of minority faculty members, racial minorities enrolled here have few positive role models with similar life experiences to help guide them through school and into the legal profession. The hundred-plus minority law students at LSU have three full-time faculty members to look to as role models whose life experiences and perspectives on the legal profession may be similar to the students’ own.


i have never once in my life looked at my professors as a "role model".

they're a fricking teacher spewing stuff for you to learn

The thing is, he is making all these claims about only one (using his own words) "token" black guy teaching apprenticeship week without knowing how many minorities the law school contacted to come teach. Those people volunteer to do that, and none of these people talking about it have any idea who was contacted. They just have a hunch that minority practitioners were not contacted.
