Article in today's Chronicle of Higher Education update titled "Law School in Michigan sues American Bar Association over delays in accrediting satellite programs." is purportedly about the Thomas Cooley Law School. Could someone with a password get the link and post it?
The Thomas M. Cooley Law School sued the American Bar Association last week, asserting that the association has improperly delayed accreditation for the Michigan school's two satellite programs even though they meet ABA standards.
"These are solid programs that have the support of two leading universities and have received a positive reaction from the communities in which they are located," Don LeDuc, Cooley's president and dean, said in a written statement. "The ABA needs to do its part to make sure that a legal education is accessible not only to those able to pursue a traditional three-year program, but also to men and women who have family, work, and other real-world responsibilities."
The satellite programs offer weekend classes at Oakland University, in Rochester, Mich., and at a graduate center of Western Michigan University in Grand Rapids. The programs serve about 180 students who cannot attend law school full time, law-school officials said.
There's also apparently something about the lawsuit on the Cooley web site:
