Prof. Chomsky Quoted in National Law Journal on ABA Review of Accreditation Standards

Professor Carol Chomsky was quoted by the National Law Journal about faculty concerns regarding the recent proposal to eliminate from the ABA accreditation standards any requirement that law schools maintain systems of tenure for their faculties. She spoke on behalf of the Society of American Law Teachers, which advocates expanding tenure protections to clinical faculty. "It's not enough to say, 'We're protecting academic freedom,'" she said. "The existence of tenure is critical in enforcing academic freedom for faculty."
