[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The whole saga puts Georgetown Law in a bad light. An actual top law school would never have extended him an offer in the first place and would certainly have figured out a reasonable way to get rid of him while still making donors happy. This just confirms that Georgetown Law is not a top law school, which I think we all already knew.

Nope. “Canceled” has lost all meaning with you people.

I agree they shouldn’t have hired him but they clearly thought having a “center” with some right wingers would help them. Having hired him there was no way they could get rid of him without looking like a second rate law school. But Georgetown still is clearly a top tier law school and it’s sort of silly to say otherwise. [/quote]
Actually, elite institutions are quite savvy about getting rid of people quietly. They still could have that center (I understand it’s Koch-funded). It just didn’t need to be with this specific person. It truly looks like donors are making their employment decisions and that’s not elite. You expect it from George Mason. I would not have expected it from Georgetown but they now look juts as desperate as George Mason and should probably be ranked equivalent. [/quote]
