coming soon: umass law?

Apparently Massachusetts does not have any public law schools, but this might change. It looks like the Southern New England School of Law is throwing in the towel and gifting itself to the state, according to the Boston Business Journal:

"Officials at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth announced Wednesday that the Southern New England School of Law has offered to donate to the state university $22.6 million in cash and real estate, including the campus that now houses the 235-student private law school."

Actually, school officials would argue that the phrase “throwing in the towel” is inaccurate:

"Ward said that Southern New England School of Law’s offer did not come out of financial crisis at the Dartmouth, Massachusetts-based law school."

“We’re being very clear about that,” he said. “We’re coming off a very good year. In a time when layoffs and everything were going on, at the end of the fiscal year, we were able to put a little extra in the paychecks of our employees.”

Bonuses for the professors? Right.

Maybe the gifting has something to do with the competition that the low profile school faces from the 7 other private law schools in the state? Or that it uses credit in lieu of an endowment?

This isn’t the first time the law school has tried to gift itself to the state. The same proposal failed a few years ago when the state’s Board of Education determined that UMass-Dartmouth could not legally operate an entire law school under its continuing education program.

I'm not sure what has changed, but maybe UMass could now operate a bonus-giving law school under its continuing education program? We'll see.

Thanks for all of the hard work on this web site. I admit, I have not been on this website in a long time, however it was joy to find it again. It is such an important topic and ignored by so many, even professionals! I do enjoy writing but it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin.

Stephon Marbury and Keith Van Horn had become stars in New Jersey. Marbury made the All-NBA 3rd Team in 2000 and his very first All-Star Game in 2001. But despite his individual efforts, constant injuries hindered the team's chemistry and the Nets failed to reach to the playoffs in each of Marbury's seasons as a starter.

and this same problem is presented in many others countries, and multiple around the world, the main problem with this, is that you can add this to the endless problem list in this moment.
