HBCU employment data
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2015 11:47 pm
I don't want to appear insensitive, but I'm curious about employment data coming out of HBCUs, like Howard. Howard has pretty weak admission data, LSAT median is 151, but last year more than a fifth of its grads got biglaw jobs. And - I don't want to appear insensitive - but I know that there is affirmative action in admissions, and I've heard about affirmative action in legal employment as well. Is the employment data out of places like Howard significantly a reflection of affirmative action? I'm just trying to make sense of a place like Howard (ranked 110), where the median LSAT is 151, placing 21% of its grads in biglaw jobs, whereas some top 25 law schools can't manage that.
