Date: March 8th, 2018 9:08 PM Author: grizzly vibrant foreskin Ok, fine, but most/all law schools have strong anonymous grading policies, so it isn't the case that the grading is biased, unless there is there is a huge conspiracy to id URMs and reduce their grades for that reason only.
So then what is he suggesting? Do you literally get an AA bump in your GPA? Are you graded on a different curve? |

KU can easily recruit 10 elite black bball player each year, but they aren't to blame for not recruiting black summas b/c they are in Lawrence?

'urban' law schools focus on getting 'urban' students; rural law schools don't it's such a stupid point either way that it doesn't matter |
