fascinating AA drama playing out in real time at CU Law
Poast new message in this thread
Date: February 19th, 2006 4:23 PM Author: supple white place of business parlour Best I can tell, an African-American woman is complaining that CU Law admitted her with a full ride, knowing well that her numbers indicated that she would be a poor student. This forecast evidently is borne out. She sends an email (or several; it's hard to tell) throughout the school, informing all that if the administration/faculty approaches her, she will construe that as harrassment. She says she would gladly trade a CU JD for a JD from a TTT.

Date: February 19th, 2006 4:50 PM Author: Outnumbered abode I expect this response will become more common among minorities at top schools.

Date: February 19th, 2006 4:53 PM Author: At-the-ready Dog Poop Just a minor quibble, but I think that this occurance will be more commen after say, the top 10 schools or so - although maybe even a bit earlier - and not at the top schools themselves. There's a big difference between being bottom of the class at Harvard and NU, and you'll see more of this type of response the lower you drop on USNEWS, especially after the T14.

Date: February 19th, 2006 4:59 PM Author: supple white place of business parlour This is on-point. Columbia's blacks, who probably arrive with scores in the 160s, are smart enough to hack the material, even if they do end up populating the lower half of the class; Colorado's blacks ... well, I'm guessing they arrive with 150s or worse, which makes "learning the law" pretty difficult -- even at CU-Boulder.

What causation? The only causation I referred to was between being black and being stupid. Certainly you don't mean to say that it is undeniable that she is stupid because she is black. Are you misusing the term causation somehow? |

Date: April 10th, 2007 10:29 AM Author: blue knife national security agency That is a ridiculously stupid definition. I don't think that there anyone will deny that there are aggregate differences between races. For example, the average black is taller than the average asian, which no doubt affects ability in physical tasks. There is also a huge amount of literature substantiating the black-white iq gap. There is nothing wrong with being tall or being less smart.
Racism is discriminating against someone solely on the basis of their race. |

Are you being serious, race aside, do you know what a generalization is? Clearly not if you don't see it in what you wrote. Taking one black woman acting stupid and extrapolating that to make a claim about blacks in general is generalizing and racist. There's really no need to continue this discussion, I'm sure you've seen the eror of your ways and honestly I don't care enough to continue arguing with you. Be racist, I don't care. |
|
Date: February 19th, 2006 5:17 PM Author: garnet exhilarant theater stage karate "blacks act stupid sometimes": are you seriously saying that this isn't true? if you are, then you're a fucking idiot. when people act stupid, we should call them out on it, not coddle them. this is why people never succeed in life: because they're not expected to. for whatever reason, we just don't hold certain groups of people to the same standards of behavior that we hold other groups. this is completely retarded, and ends up hurting everyone. being put on notice that you have fucked up is necessary for the development of everyone, not just whites.

Date: February 19th, 2006 5:51 PM Author: Hairraiser pervert I'm not claiming that blacks don't act stupid.

Date: February 19th, 2006 5:14 PM Author: clear garrison dysfunction There is a reason you wouldn't say this in public. You didn't say "people" act so fucking stupid sometimes, you said "black people" do. Your statement indicates you believe black people act stupid more often than do people of other races.
I am a conservative, by the way, which I means I judge people based on their individual abilities and accomplishments, and I don't generalize based on race. |
|
Date: February 19th, 2006 5:22 PM Author: garnet exhilarant theater stage karate LOL How did my statement "indicate" that I thought blacks act stupidly more often than other races? Wait -- did I even mention other races? No. You're trying to shift the blame from where it really belongs: on the black chick. If you're really going to sit here and say that blacks never act stupid, then fine. But fuck you for that. And I think blacks would say the same, because I'm assuming they don't like to be fucking patronized. See, I think we should treat adults like fucking adults.
Unlike you, you patronizing asshole, I don't think blacks should be coddled when they do stupid shit. |

1. Whites 2. Blacks |
|
Date: February 19th, 2006 5:32 PM Author: garnet exhilarant theater stage karate as law students, we hear about blacks acting dumb more often than we do about other races, but i think the percentage of blacks who act stupidly is roughly proportional to the % whites who do the same. and if that is really the case, then the actual number of whites who act stupid is actually greater than the number of blacks, as a function of the respective population sizes. but when blacks act stupid, i'm not afraid to say it. blacks act stupidly sometimes - that's a fucking fact. this black chick acted stupidly here, and you shouldnt be afraid to point that out.

Your statement above was racist. You took one example of a black person doing something stupid, and decided to make a general comment about the entire race. It was simply a racist comment, and one you would never make in public. Enjoy living behind the veil of anonymity where you can't be held accountable for what you say. |

The fact is that she's basically blaming someone for assuming (or hoping) that she was more qualified than her TTT numbers suggested. She's basically blaming AA for giving her a chance. How the fuck is this not acting stupid? And I'm sorry if I sounded racist, but I happen to think AA is a good thing; and the last people who should be complaining about it are the people who take advantage of it. She should just leave CU quietly and attend a TTT more suited to her TTT abilities (there's the other issue about how she failed out at CU of all places. That place is rancid beyond belief). I retract my earlier statement if I sounded racist, but I'll have you know that I'm probably the least racist person on this fucking board.

Date: February 19th, 2006 5:04 PM Author: Hairraiser pervert Well you did qualify your statement by making a negative comment about the entire black race based on a single person who just happens to be be black. Furthermore, pointing out one race doing something stupid is only useful if other races don't do it. If it was something that was exclusive to black it might have been only a politically incorrect statement but not racist. However, the way you chose to express yourself is certainly indicative of a racist. Nonetheless, not really sure how much it matters.

You'd have to compile a list of all the people with her qualifications (or lack thereof) and see if a pattern emerged showing a positive correlation between failing and having a TTT LSAT and gpa. And even then we don't presume that people will fail. If that were the case, then everyone with a shitty gpa would never be admitted into college or ls, because schools wouldn't want to be subjected to lawsuits alleging fraud.

If we start allowing these correlations to determine who and who not to extend offers of admission, the inevitable result will be a class of people who never get educated. So unless the correlation between outright failing and TTT numbers is perfect and exact, not giving people admission on that basis is misguided. But I agree that maybe schools should start giving students a rough indication of whether they stand a chance of failing or passing -- but then again, SCHOOLS ALREADY DO THIS. This is what academic support programs and shit like that are for. These programs target "at-risk" students. Every school has one. Maybe the CU bitch didn't take advantage of it, who knows.

Date: February 19th, 2006 7:36 PM Author: supple white place of business parlour Dear Dean Trujillo,
I read your message regarding the article. I understand you sent the email as a way to ensure that all students at the law school have a positive learning environment. I commend you for your good intentions. However, I do not agree that the University of Colorado at Boulder Law School (CU) should focus on forcing white students to be sensitive to minority students. Instead, I think the school should help minority students understand that other people's opinions cannot harm them. I will elaborate below.
Your email says the comment, "Who Gives a Shit" is "destructive" to someone at the law school. Your email assumes that I, as a black person, am so emotionally insecure that someone's opinion would some how hurt me. Though this is a realistic assumption, it perpetuates the notion that a person can be harmed by "words." People can be harmed by words, but only if they allow themselves to be harmed in such a way. For example, a white student could approach me in the hallway and say, "You're a nigger!" Although I've never been insulted in this way, I cannot imagine that I would let such ignorance affect me. Instead, I undoubtedly would wonder what pain this person has experienced that would cause him or her to be so rude to another human being. I would feel compassion for him or her and then go on about my business. I would tell other black students about the remark becauseit would serve as an interesting topic of discussion.
Dean Trujillo, the only way a person can offend me is if he or she says something that resonates with how I perceive myself. If I perceive myself as a "nigger," along with the negative concepts associated with that word, then Iwould be offended by the above comment. I don't think of myself as a nigger, soI don't believe I would be offended if a white person used that word toward me, whether in jest or as an insult. However, if I have "issues" about something, I will likely feel offended in certain situations. For instance, Professor Calhoun recently made some comments to me that I found highly insulting. I have attached the email (pasted in Word) I sent her expressing my feelings. After sending the email, I tried to figure out why I had sent such a disrespectful email to a professor. I have never been rude to ateacher or professor in my life and I wondered why I was so offended by her comments. Her statements touched something inside of me and this is what it was:
When I was 11 years old, I brought home a report card with all As and Bs, except for a "C" in mathematics. I was very disappointed with the last grade. My mother responded, "Don't worry about math. I wasn't good in math and neitherare you." Her comments were very distructive to me because I believed her. The fact that other students got good grades in math and I was "incapable" of doing so was hurtful to me. However, in my early thirties, I took Algebra classes at the University of Colorado and earned "As" so I realized my mother was wrong. Until last week, Idid not know I harbored resentment against my mother for not finding someone to help me in math. In fact, she could have asked my stepdad to help me as he had excelled in high school Alegbra. It did not occur to me to ask for help becauseI believed a "C" was all I could achieve in math. Unfortunately, my poor mathskills discouraged me from pursuing a career in Science, my favorite subject since ninth grade. I earned a Journalism degree instead.
When Professor Calhoun suggested the law school could change standards so that "diversity" students would get better grades, I was insulted. She unwittingly transported me back to age 11 when my mother made the above statements to me. Professor Calhoun said I misunderstood her comments and Iaccept that. However, the problem was not her comments, regardless of what she meant by them. I know the following statements are a bit esoteric, but they are important:
The problem was that I never forgave my mother for her comments until last week. By not forgiving her, I harbored the hurt feelings her statements generated. Unfortunately, those feelings were triggered by a professor for whom I have great respect. My mother hurt me when she told me I was incapable of excelling in math. Therefore, it was my own weakness that allowed me to feel offended by Professor Calhoun's comments. If a person feels discomfort or pain because of someone's words, they need to find out who they haven't forgiven. Again, I know this sounds pretty esoteric but minority students are allowing themselves to be harmed over things that are harmless. Psychotherapist Laura Yokota is alicensed Forgiveness Therapist and I believe she could be of great service to CU's minority students. Intolerant students also would benefit because rude behavior is a clear warning (such as in my case with Professor Calhoun) that a person needs to forgive herself or someone else. Although Mrs. Yokota specializes in individual therapy, she offers group therapy, which is much more affordable. If you want additional information about Forgiveness Therapy, Mrs. Yokota can be reached at 719-***-****. I do not believe the solution to racial insensitivity is to force white people to become more sensitive. By doing this, you are legitimizing the idea that minorities should focus their energy on trying to control other people. Minorities will not succeed in controlling others but they have absolute power to control themselves. Instead of giving racial sensitivity classes to 25,000 white students, the University of Colorado should offer workshops to minority students that help them realize that other people's perceptions of them need not affect how they feel. Whenever a student is caught engaging in unacceptable behavior, such as defacing an article, he or she should be required to attend a workshop. Using words to cause hurt and feeling hurt because of words both indicate a need to forgive someone.
Dean Trujillo, I am not exactly sure why one or more black students was interested in the information contained in the article. However, someone took the time to copy the article and post it on BLSA's bulletin board. It is unfortunate that someone manifested his or her insensitivity to other people's concerns by defacing the article. However, it is even more unfortunate that you believe the words, "Who Gives a Shit" is somehow "destructive" to anyone at the law school.
Respectfully, [ ] |

Date: February 19th, 2006 7:38 PM Author: supple white place of business parlour Hi Prof. Caluhoune, I WANT TO WRITE A STATUTE THAT ALLOWS INDIVIDUALS TO ENJOIN A STATE UNDER 14TH AMEND FROM PRESENTING CERTAIN FALSE INFORMATION TO STUDENTS THAT CAUSES SEVERE PSYCHOLOGICAL AND INTELLECTUAL HARM TO A PROTECTED GROUP. [ ]
----------------------------------------
You can work with this, although I suspect it will be complicated. Do you have a definite idea about the type of information you are going to designate as harmful? Is there accessible information about the harm you are thinking of (e.g., in studies, reports, etc.)? Also, have you thought about a source of congressional authority for adopting this statute? These are just a few miscellaneous thoughts. As you become more focused (which will certainly happen the minute you try to draft up some statutory language addressing the problem you have identified), you're gong to encounter some issues that seem pretty complicated. Be sure not to hesitate to consult with me! Take care. Emily Calhoun
----------------------------------------
Hello Prof. Calhoun, First, I want to say that I believe you are a fine professor with very noble intentions regarding African Americans. I want to thank you for your efforts as a civil rights attorney on behalf of your black clients (assuming you had black clients). I assume that you have wanted to help blacks find justice in a society that for hundreds of years denied blacks equal rights under the law. Well, we had equal rights for 65 years in early America and we were disproportionately more successful than whites in the South, economically and educationally, but we won't talk about that.
Based on our conversation today, you seem to want to help "black people." However, I was very insulted and offended by your comments. You indicated that the University of Colorado Law School can help achieve diversity goals by providing more one-one-one instruction and giving more emphasis to clinical programs instead of what it stresses now. You said the school should provide more classes that help students develop practical skills, apparently instead of the type of abstract thinking that is required in most law classes. You mentioned that CU would continue grading students instead of implementing a pass/fail system.
Your suggestions implied that black students (as we were specifically talking about black students), will continue to be disproportionately at the bottom of their law school classes unless the school changes the type of work students are required to perform. I understand that you lived through the civil right movement and your care about justice for all Americans. Undoubtedly you have been exposed to racist white people and have seen blacks treated unfairly by whites and their institutions.
However, I've lived through the 80s and the 90s and have never experienced overt maltreatment by whites (that I know of)or their institutions on account of my being African American. I don't believe this is the result of Title VII. My 15 years in the workplace has convinced me that Title VII's protections against racial discrimination has lowered black employment significantly while giving small numbers of blacks big jobs with big salaries. My conversation with you today was the closest thing I've experienced to having a white person tell me to my face that blacks are inferior to whites.
CU does not have to change standards to enable black students to perform>proportionately as well as white students. Statistics that I will present in my statute supports this assertion. The problem is that CU has done a crappy job attracting qualified black students. Maybe if the school adopted a color-blind admission policy and widely publicized this fact, it would attract some of the many qualified black students who would love to have the experience of not being stigmatized as less competitive and intelligent as their white counterparts. Maybe they would love to have everyone know that they did not take seats at CU Law School School from more qualified whites.
The fact that Jews and Asians are a tiny percentage of the population does not prevent them from being overrepresented in American Universities. The children of Holocaust victims are not labeled disadvantaged because they have not bought into a victim mentality. As long as people like you, and many black civil rights leaders, continue repeating the idea that blacks are victims and need white people to help them in order to succeed, blacks will never realize their potential. I, along with most blacks, cannot reasonably choose to attend an undergraduate or graduate school with our "peers." Why would I attend a tier 3 or 4 school when I can attend a tier 1 school and receive a full-tuition scholarship during my first year. Since employers know that Affirmative Action is practiced in virtually every law school, they reasonably believe my University of Colorado Law degree should be a for instance, Nova University degree, and maybe, just maybe a University of Denver degree. I would love to have attended a school with my peers instead of going through the "hell" I've experienced at CU.
I have no doubt that clinical programs won't help as much as you suggested. The only reason I received a B+ in the Immigration Law Clinic is because the black professor who ran the class clearly gave me a better grade than I deserved. She gave white students an A- who had done so much more work compared to me that I feel like petitioning the Dean for a lower grade. Your Torts class was a great example of the type of abstract thinking that is required in Tier 1 law schools. I loved the class and thought I understood what was being taught. The other student kept complaining that they didn't understand you. I ignored them an sought help from a teaching assistant. She said I understood the material. Apparently, I didn't understand because I received the lowest grade in the class, a D+.
Based on our conversation today, you seem to expect me to be grateful that your solution to my bad grades is to change the way CU teaches students. I am not grateful and I feel insulted that you would think I would be receptive to the idea. I do not have a slave mentality. Blacks do not need white people to change their standards so that blacks can succeed. By doing this we will always be perceived as inferior and our children will continue believing the post civil rights notion that "being smart is acting white." My ancestors fought and died for equal protection under the law, NOT for policies that continue white supremacist ideas that blacks are unable to compete with whites.
I don't care about past discrimination because I don't live in the past. I live in 2006. I want to figure out what I can do to contribute to the world based on my skills and interests. The lives of my ancestors were precious and certainly priceless so I feel insulted that anyone would think that they could give me money or change standards to pay for their suffering and unfair treatment. No one can prove that I am disadvantaged simply because I am black. If that were the case, there wouldn't be tens of millions of white people on welfare. My grandparents might have lacked intelligence and initiative just like many whites so no one knows why I did not received higher LSAT and GPA scores.
My ancestors achieved so much in this country and I assure you that if they are ghosts in the USA, they are appauled by Affirmative Action. These programs incorporate every racist idea that they were exposed to. You mentioned that CU Law School might have an interest in having blacks attend CU to promote diversity. I found this comment offensive because it implied that the fact that I am black is more important than my viewpoints as well as my social and economic status. Unless one can discern these things from the color of my skin, then I assume you were suggesting that CU wants black students simply because they are black. The problem is that I don't appreciate being viewed as an opportunity for CU to give white students the experience of looking at a black person and maybe even sitting next to one in class. I'm offended by the implication that somehow I provide the same benefit to white students as zoo animals. I am sorry that I had to write you this harsh email but I had to speak my mind. I suffer from a thyroid condition that has created a goiter in my neck. Part of the problem is that I don't speak my mind as I don't like offending people. I can't promise that I won't send this email to anyone else. However, I don't intend to do so at this point and I want you to know that I do not feel that you intended to insult or offend me.
I believe you are an honorable person and I enjoy being in your classes very much. I don't care if you have negative feelings toward me after receiving this message. That's because this email doesn't change how I feel about you . . . I think you're a wonderful human being. I, like everyone human being, makes unintentional statements that offend others. I don't have negative feelings about you as a person because you unintentionally offended me.
However, if civil rights people continue brainwashing black children as well as American and international employers that blacks are intellectually and culturally disadvantaged because of slavery and Jim Crow laws, then black children will continue believing they are "different" from whites and that they cannot accomplish the same things as white children. They will continue feeling that education is in the "white domain" and they will continue believing that sports and entertainment are the only areas where they can be "the best" based on personal merit. Undoubtedly, Jewish people wouldn't feel PROUD and GRATEFUL for a program that tells them they are less competitive than other whites because of the Holocaust. They know wearing a label that says "Intellectually and Culturally Disadvantaged Jew Needs a Job" will not help them in obtaining non-Affirmative Action jobs, which account for more than 95 percent of all jobs. Programs like Affirmative Action creates this label for blacks, and unfortunately, every black person is forced to wear the label even if they are not disadvantaged. There is nothing wrong with giving blacks an opportunity to exploit their advantages and overcome their challenges. Equality won't happen immediately, but it will happen if America would stop trying to convince black people that they are inferior because they are disadvantaged. "All men (and women) are equal," is the only useful message America needs to promote.
I've talked to all the blacks here at CU about Affirmative Action and none of them agree with me. Nevertheless, I love all of them and they are very kind to me. I guess they think I'm just stupid so they ignore my "absurd" comments. However, most of the black students here are from middle- or upper-class families. I'm from the ghetto and I can tell you that many poor blacks (who also happen to be thoughtful and intelligent) view me and the other blacks here as "sell outs." They believe we are buying into an educational system that perpetuates white supremacy and tries to strip blacks of confidence and self-respect by ensuring that they have no reasonable choice to attend school with their peers.
If America wants to help blacks because of former discrimination, then it should provide blacks with scholarships so they can afford to attend private schools. Of course, it's cheaper to simply admit them into state schools where they will disproportionately remain in the bottom five percent of their class if they don't drop out first.
I will do the best that I can with my statute and I hope you will not feel uncomfortable assisting me when I need guidance. Thank you. [ ]
----------------------------------------
Hello, [ ] -- This is not the place to debate policy. I only want to say that you have very much misunderstood most of my points -- which related to diversity in general and not to minorities in particular. I am so sorry if you were offended by them. I certainly understand that there are all sorts of arguments about how best to respond to a very bad -- indeed, evil --history of slavery and discrimination, and that people of good will can disagree about the best remedy. For that reason, I am very much looking forward to seeing your statute -- and, of course, I will do my best to help you make it the best possible statute. I've been anticipating seeing your first cut at statutory language, as we discussed after class on Monday. Sorry to miss you in class today. And take care. Emily Calhoun |

---------------------------------
Hello Dean Matthew,
Thank you for your concern. Unfortunately, I have no desire to speak with any administrators. I do not believe The University of Colorado School of Law (CU)should have admitted me into this school in the first place. CU has known year after year, decade after decade that underqualified students such as myself consistently fall in the bottom 5% of the class and disproportionately fail the Colorado Bar Exam.Nevertheless, CU has done nothing that effectively helps underqualified students receive grades that fall within the "bell curve." CU doesn't offer a summer academic preparation program or even a bar exam review course (both ofwhich are offered at the University of Denver). Not only has CU not made minimally sufficient efforts to assist under-qualified students, but the school admitted underqualified students without any warning regarding their potential at CU. The law school has the data to inform underqualified students about where they will "likely" fall in the class ranking compared to academically-qualified students. Some law schools provide this type of information because it is reasonably clear they have a duty to do so. At the time of my admittance, CU knew how unlikely it would be that I would serve on law journals, participate in moot court competitions, work as a research assistant, obtain judicial clerkships and externships, complete law school in three years or at all, pass the Colorado Bar Exam, etc.
Regarding extracurricular activities, I intended to apply for a summer "diversity" law clerkship. I believed I had a chance to get a clerkship after the Director of Career Services sent an email to potential applicants informing us that we NEED NOT report grades on the application. Shortly thereafter, he sent another email letting us know that we must include our lawschool transcript in the application package. I chose not to apply for a clerkship due to my low grades. However, academically-prepared Asian, East Indian, Hispanic, and gay people were offered clerkships. I understand that many academically-prepared black students also obtained clerkships over the past few years. Some of these black students have graduated from Ivy League universities and/or come from families where their parents are lawyers, accountants, teachers, and other professionals. I'm sure they always had enough to eat as a child and witnessed their parents reading a book other than the bible.
If my brown skin has helped "advantaged" black and brown students feel less isolated (and I really don't believe they feel isolated) at CU, I am happy forthem. If my skin color has helped CU promote itself as a diverse law school and attract more state and federal aid to the University of Colorado, I am happy for the law school. This aid benefits tens of thousands of academically-prepared white students through new human and technical resources. I happy for them as well. The problem, despite my professed happiness, is that CU has used my skin color against me in order to provide benefits to others.
I have spent a lot of time with members of the (African-American) Sam Cary Bar Association and they say that underqualified black students almost never serve on law review and oftendo not pass the Colorado Bar Exam. I cannot fathom how CU has found these facts acceptable. I should not have been led to believe that I had the same potential as traditional students. I should have had the opportunity to weigh the benefits of receiving a full-tuition, first-year scholarship and admittance into a Tier1 school against the LIKELY consequences of my relatively poor academic background. I have worked very, very hard and have taken advantage of all of the academic support that CU offered. Unfortunately, like many other underqualified students with similar motivation, I am paying tens of thousands of dollars to receive the type of law school education CU knew I was highly unlikely to receive. CU's policy of admitting academically-underqualified students without any plan to provide them with EFFECTIVE academic support is recklessly negligent. The really sad thing is that I was one of the 95 percent of law students (based on statistics) who believed he or she would be in the top 10 percent of the first-year class.
I understand that if there were no underqualified students here, fifty percent of academically-prepared students would be in the bottom 50 percent of the class. However, it is clear that when all students have comparable academic skills,the deciding factors for GPA differences are LUCK and MOTIVATION to work very hard. Therefore, all academically-prepared students have a reasonable opportunity to be in the top 50 percent. More important, the bottom 50 percent need not receive less than a B-. For example, no one in my first-semester legal writing class received less than a B-. Therefore, no one necessarily has to receive Cs and Ds here. When you have an identifiable group of students who consistently receive Cs and Ds, CU has a problem it needs to address in an ethical and effective manner.
It is true that some CU law students (of all races) from disadvantaged backgrounds with relatively low incoming academic credentials have performed exceptionally well inside and outside of the classroom. Nevertheless, this does not abolish CU's equitable duty to give underqualified students information that is particularly relevant to their situation. Without this information, it is difficult for them to make an informed decision about whether to attend a top law school. In my opinion, the minimum amount of data that CU should give underqualified students prior to admittance is the correlation between LSAT scores and first-year grades. Dean Matthew, if you are inclined to respond to my email to Professor Calhoun "on behalf of the institution," please do so in writing. Also, please take notice that if any administrator from the University of Colorado Schoolof Law or Pro-Affirmative Action Professor David Hill (who I admire and amvery fond of), speaks to me about anything (that means please do not say "Hello," . . . nothing), I will consider the interaction to be harassment. The administrators at this law school have harmed me irreparably and I do not want to have anything to do with any of them outside of written correspondence. Had I been properly warned as described above, I would be at a Tier 3 school facing the joy of graduation in May 2006. I do not feel it is an honor to have a law degree from the University of Colorado. If it were possible to do so, I would gladly exchange my CU law degree for one from a Tier 3 school. Unfortunately, I am stuck here until Spring 2007 trying to deal with the hurt and anger CU has recklessly inflicted upon me. Have a good day, [ ] |

"CU's policy of admitting academically-underqualified students without any plan to provide them with EFFECTIVE academic support is recklessly negligent. The really sad thing is that I was one of the 95 percent of law students (based on statistics) who believed he or she would be in the top 10 percent of the first-year class."
And I GUARANTEE that if CU had offered her that scholarship and even put in the letter "only 25% of the people with your grades/LSAT end up passing the bar," she would have thought "Oh, well, I'm smart and special, so I'll be fine."
Fact is, shes a stupid whiny bitch who can't spell, is a 30+ year old non-trad, goes to a TTT, has personality issues, and has a fucking GOITER. Pwned by life. |

What academic resources were they supposed to provide her with? She said that she thought she understood the material in her torts class and thus presumably didn't think she needed any help.
Why should CU have to point out the obvious? Schools are under no obligation to do this, and a lot of people would be insulted if they did. Moreover, the school's medians are public information, she should have done her own research and realized that her numbers weren't competitive.
About the diversity internship, who knows what happened with that. Perhaps that was due to factors beyond the school's control, i.e. certain employers rightfully refusing to consider students w/o looking at their transcripts. |

Also, it's somewhat screwed up to say that it's unfair for schools to push too many kids to take AP when the best research on schools in low-income areas typically refers to a highly challenging college oriented curriculum as key. |
