SA Fired from Skadden
This has been circulating among many of the SAs at my firm about a Northwestern student who said racist things to a Hispanic SA and promptly was fired from Skadden. Can anyone verify? Supposedly in the Chicago or NYC office.

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
As an alum I hope it's not true, but I also think it's a little much to so blatantly call out names for no reason than to satisfy your curiosity. If it's not true, I'd hate for anyone to get the wrong impression of the firm/office or the school.

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
OP here. Well, not sure why their current students would be spreading the rumor around in real life.... Also this isn't as highly publicized as ATL and I'm not claiming to know who the SA is. Apparently the rumor mill is going off on rumors that are unsubstantiated and even more unlikely than the original post.onionz wrote:As an alum I hope it's not true, but I also think it's a little much to so blatantly call out names for no reason than to satisfy your curiosity.

I have zero tolerance for racism and if it's true that Skadden fired someone for it..well, that's a positive step. Sucks if it's a Northwestern student but there's horrible people from every school.

Skadden SAs on a streak as of late? Wasn't it there last year that an SA supposedly slapped an associate or something?

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
Has anyone heard whether this is a man or a woman? Because the only Northwestern SA in the NYC office is female.

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
Simple bold statement: nothing about this is substantiated besides the slapping SA from last year. Mindless speculation serves no one's purpose, and should be ignored until there is a substantiating record. Why devolve beyond that before actual facts come out supporting/denying the claim?

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
I heard something about the guy from the SAs at Weil (where I'm at). Unable to verify or deny though. Rising 3Ls at Northwestern likely would be helpful.
It sounds too good to be true but who knows. At least the guy's name isn't circulating on TLS.

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
Nobody who got this far in life could be that dumb. Was it anger fueled racism or a poorly conceived joke? Neither is good, but if it's the latter, then you feel bad.

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
It's unfortunate either way, but if it's the latter, they could still have a good heart. If it's the former, the impulse to go there when angry suggests otherwise.UVA2B wrote:Why on Earth would that matter?UBETutoring wrote:Seems too stupid to be true.

Re: SA Fired from Skadden
Skadden, Chicago Office, Northwestern, last Friday, supposedly various multitude of issues other than racist remark.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
