Default WSJ.com -- Study Claims Wisconsin Law School Discriminates a\gainst Whites

The Center for Equal Opportunity, a conservative group based in Virginia, has released a study concluding that the University of Wisconsin Law School has admitted a much higher proportion of blacks than better-credentialed whites and Asians.



Margaret Raymond, the dean of Wisconsin law school (pictured), wrote in a letter to students that race is one of many factors that admissions officials consider and that the school benefits from a diverse student body, NLJ reports.

“For the classroom experience at UW to reflect the range of knowledge, experiences, attitudes and aspirations of the world at large, it is necessary to look at everything about a candidate, ranging from veteran status to foreign travel experience to volunteer activities, and everything in between,” Raymond wrote. “We do take into account race and ethnicity, and the life experiences those characteristics may denote.”
