How many of these lawmakers went to USC, the home of the only public law school in the state?
The fact that Will earned a degree from Little Carolina hasn’t kept him from railing against public funding of higher ed and mocking the academic reputation of other institutions.
Wonder how much Infinilaw spent donating money to these lawmakers to get them to come out with this statement.
The only reason in the world that this is even being considered is because several clowns in the Legislature were dumb enough to go to CSOL, and they sure as hell don’t want to see what little credibility that degree has go away. This does nothing for the citizens of this state except cost them money. Hell, they oughta close the damn thing down. There are way too many lawyers in this state anyway, and I can’t stand 95% of them. (You’re excluded, Gville Lawyer).
“That’s not our problem though. And it sure as hell isn’t the taxpayers’ problem.”
Uh, it will be when the thousands of unqualified students take out hundreds of thousands of student loans. Then, when they can’t find jobs, they sign up for Income Based Repayment and the balance is forgiven by the Federal Government.
Only a short sighted moron who doesn’t understand how higher education is funded would think a diploma mill is not the taxpayers’ problem.
“a short sighted moron who doesn’t understand how higher education is funded”. A succinct definition of Sic Willie. Good job Jackie!
That’s a federal government issue (and a big one). That problem won’t be solved by the state’s taking on another law school to crank out a bunch of graduates who won’t be able to get jobs.
At least if the state took it over, they wouldn’t have as much of a need to crank out graduates though. Infinilaw schools only care about profit. Look at how many graduates their schools crank out. State schools are not as guilty of that mentality.
I perceive some subtle racism in the lawmakers who oppose the sale and are trying to use the state licensing process to block the sale. Infilaw’s schools are diverse, while the percentage of minority attorneys in SC is abysmally low, less than 5%, and USC and Charleston’s is not much better. This is the 21st century version of Jim Crow….
I’m not sure the answer minorities are looking for is hundreds of thousands of dollars in non-dischargeable student loan debt and a degree in a saturated job market from a school with an awful reputation.
See Charlotte School of Law’s employment statistics and student loan debt metrics. There are plenty of minorities cursing the day they stepped foot in an Infinilaw school. Meanwhile Infinilaw shareholders are laughing all the way to the bank on the backs of these poor minorities who thought they’d cashed their ticket to middle class living.
Yep, maximized profits through maximized financial aid and federal loan dollars. It’s no different than what some venture capitalist companies do, loading a company with tons of debt to suck cash out of it and then leave it to struggle and die.
Of course, companies get to declare bankruptcy if they make a choice like that.
If students could prove the (lack of) value in their diploma mill degrees and have their student loans dismissed, and if the feds actually reacted by denying loans to some colleges, you would see a lot of diploma mills close and a lot of for-profit colleges go bankrupt.
The lady doth protest too much methinks….
“I’m not sure the answer minorities are looking for is hundreds of thousands of dollars in non-dischargeable student loan debt and a degree in a saturated job market from a school with an awful reputation.”
Yes, but it also isn’t tens of thousands of dollars in non-dischargeable student loan debt and a degree in a saturated job market from a school with a slightly less awful reputation.
I perceive some not-so-subtle wild speculation on your part.
subtle racism

It’s no longer “nigger guy” but a palette of racist pastels which cause the Pavlovian response without giving away the message.

People shouldn’t go to college – making outhouses and shoveling shit is a time-honored tradition, not a subject for a college course!
In the immortal words of Judge Smails… “Well, the world needs ditch diggers too…”

Might as well get them all from Southern States, right?
