Recent articles in both the Yale Journal of Law and Feminism and the Texas Journal of Women and the Law report that the nation’s law schools accepted white applicants at a higher rate than black or Hispanic applicants with the same test scores between 1994 and 1998. The articles were based on a recent study by Testing for the Public, an educational research group based in Berkeley, Calif., which examined admissions decisions at more than 175 accredited law schools. More than 46 percent of white applicants with GPAs between 2.25 and 2.49 were accepted, compared with 33 percent of Hispanic applicants and 28 percent of black applicants (all with LSAT scores between 143 and 154).
Final Four to remain in Georgia
The NCAA has decided not to move the location of the 2002 and 2007 men’s Final Four basketball championship from Atlanta despite controversy surrounding Georgia’s state flag, which includes the Confederate “stars and bars.” Civil rights groups have urged the NCAA to take a strong position against the Georgia flag, as it had done earlier in South Carolina.
