I just graduated and don’t recognize a single professor you just named. ..

I did not go to law school in this state, yet even I recognize these two names.

demanded everyone’s political affiliation and threatened all your conservative students with F’s

He said, in a really unprofessional way, that if you disagree with him then you need to hear his perspective. That is absolutely legally protected speech- for good reason at a law school.

“I’m a big Democrat. I’ve been. I was devastated by. I couldn’t believe that **** won. And those of you who like him I don’t give a. You can. Now, you’re already getting ready to say your evaluations. I don’t need his political commentary. No, you need my political commentary. And you, above all others, need my political.“

Governor should not be meddling with the law school at all. Would be nice if LSU grads with balls in his circle stood up to him once in a while.

Levy is a leftist loon who can’t teach worth a frick, but nothing in that transcript (as poorly transcribed as it is) is even remotely offensive or worthy of condemnation.

Whoever made this an issue can eat shite.

Frank Maraist was a founding member of the Louisiana Association of Defense Counsel (as in defense against tort claims) and was the legal adviser to the group for decades, until Bill Corbett took over. He was old school conservative

I understand and appreciate the old school LSU law grads talking about how LSU used to have conservative professors. And I’m sure when yall attended there was probably a mix of conservative and liberal professors. That is not the case any more. LSU law is a progressive/liberal echo chamber.

Even saying that, nothing Levy said in that transcript deserves termination. It sounded like the typical liberal drivel that you have to listen to to get a law degree at LSU.

I graduated in 2014 and this was pretty close to true. The very very few possibly conservative professors hid it well and were “closeted” so to speak:

Cheney Joseph (dead)
Crawford (dead)
Corbett
Morris (retired)
Holmes (retired)
maybe Smith (retired)
maybe Trahan

Can’t think of another one from my time there. Levasseur was hard to nail down, but potentially him, too.

Levasseur was no liberal bro. I liked him at lot, even with that French accent. The only thing he ever told us was to not let practice of law dominate our lives and try to have a hobby like tennis, jogging or something to keep us healthy.

Look I was a solid well known conservative and my law school roommate was a big David Duke supportor. I think one professor gave me shite for liking the editor of National Review once, William
F Buckley, but we were still friends and I had him 3 times. (Although I still think I deserved an A on my environmental law paper. He didn't like my truthful and proven correct answer on what we were were not going to do anything about non point ground water pollution, aka farming runoff etc and we were just going to be slowly poisoned.

This is the second thread on this shite with the predictable tribal responses from both sides, especially the libs circling the wagons acting like nothing to see here, lol. Of course.

Professors are (obviously) in a position of power and authority and should never instill a political bias into their classes. Students shouldn’t have to suffer through this shite whether it’s liberal or conservative. They have enough to deal with and pay out of their arse for the privilege.

Although I will say for any law students going into large firm practice, you might as well get used to being around outspoken liberals.

Same in the corporate word. General counsel at a Silicon Valley based software company and its rampant, obnoxious DEI liberal bullshite 24/7.

Levy is cool in the sense that he’s not a prick like Devlin and Levasseur were, but holy hell he SUCKS at teaching anything. The man is just not an educator.
