Interesting. Not surprising, but interesting.

Why won't the ABA put on probation and eventually remove any school with less than 60% bar passage or less than 60% employment of full time permanent JD required at 9 months? Oh, wait... money... nevermind.

I think the rule is they have to have poor results 3 years in a row...I forget the specifics but I'll try and dig it up later if I have time.

Yeah, but I bet they'd take any data thrown at them the next two years, no matter how doctored, in order to keep a school in. They don't want to un-accredit schools.
