Reaffirmation Statement - Suspending Participation with U.S. News Law School Rankings
In alignment with our steadfast commitment to transformative legal education, we reaffirm our decision to suspend participation in the US News & World Report rankings. Despite an increase in our ranking this year, we maintain that these rankings do not fully reflect our mission, values, or innovative approach to legal education.
For a detailed understanding of our stance, we invite you to revisit our original statement from December 15, 2022, where I articulate the flaws inherent in the ranking system and our dedication to providing prospective students with transparent, relevant information.
Our unwavering focus remains on fostering pioneering, principled, and practice-ready lawyers while continuing to innovate in the legal education landscape.
Warmest regards,
Megan Carpenter
Dean and Professor of Law
