Law - Still more on: Night law classes may end at the University of Louisville

Updating earlier ILB entries on the proposed closing of the University of Louisville night law school, Michael Stevens of The Kentucky Law Blog yesterday posted a letter he received from the acting dean of the law school. Here is a quote from the letter:

Faculty consideration of moving the part-time program to the day has not come easily. One of the known benefits of teaching in the evening part-time division is teaching classes with students who have such varied experiences and points of view.

Many faculty have developed close friendships in the legal community with graduates of our evening division. Not one faculty member of whom I am aware has treated any of the discussions about the future of the evening division with anything other than serious study and personal concern.

We recognize the important role that the evening division has historically played in the law school, and we value the graduates of that division who have been loyal supporters of the law school.

Sounds like their decision has been made, although not yet officially.
