ABA dismisses complaint against depaul for firing dean.

[cynthia]

The Chicago Tribune reports that the American Bar Association has dismissed a complaint against DePaul university that resulted from concerns about the school's financial affairs, which were first raised by now-fired Dean Glen Weissenberger.

The ousting of Dean Weissenberger resulted in some pretty serious backlash from both students and faculty, who hit Facebook to organize campaigns on his behalf. These campaigns included the publication of minutes from faculty meetings on the issue.

From the Chicago Tribune story:

"The university released a report Monday from the American Bar Association, the accreditation agency for law schools, that concluded the central administration provides sufficient funds to the law school.

The funding of the law school became controversial in June when the school’s dean, Glen Weissenberger, complained to the ABA that the university had breached a 2004 agreement that guaranteed the college of law 75 percent of the “net tuition” in any given year. His memo also charged that the administration had provided inaccurate information about the revenue-sharing agreement to the ABA’s accreditation committee.

On June 18, two days after Weissenberger sent the letter to the ABA, the university fired him. The administration appointed Illinois Appellate Judge Warren Wolfson as interim dean."
