Many of the factors driving the rankings are fixable with cash: faculty/student ratio, spending per pupil, spending on technology, scholarship money to lure top students, etc. South Carolina does more with less than almost every other law school in the top 100. This is not hyperbole, it is demonstrable and provable.<BR/><BR/>The state, and the law school alumni get what they pay for. If they don't want to give the law school adequate funding, the school will slip further in the rankings, no question.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796339.post-66737435665998540442007-11-12T23:55:00.000-05:002007-11-12T23:55:00.000-05:00USC is tier 2.

Lit a fire under the administration. As for CSoL, I expect huge things. Right now they have a pretty lackluster student body. But with accreditation and the attraction of Charleston, recruiting is bound to improve. The teachers must be good. Go by CSoL and meet some students before their LSATs go through the roof next year. Getting 70% of those dimwits to pass a bar exam is an extraordinary achievement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12796339.post-17070054287986695252007-11-12T14:01:00.000-05:002007-11-12T14:01:00.000-05:00Interesting that the USC pass rate doesn't reflect...Interesting that the USC pass rate doesn't reflect the general lack of satisfaction its graduates have with the institution, poor alumni giving rate, or why USC continues to drop in the rankings and is now only a 3rd tier law school nationally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
