Top Producers of African Americans with Law Degrees

[Cholly]

You keep making these VERY silly statements and comparisons.  

Harvard has the #2 ranked law school in the country. Georgetown is #14. BOTH schools have huge endowments and Harvard has a HUGE class.

NCCU being public doesn't mean a thing in that context but more importantly, YOUR criticism of it in THIS context comes off as uninformed and juvenile.

Oh yeah, and mean spirited too.

[TrueEagle]

What's the deal with YOU?!?!

Why do you ALWAYS feel the need and find a way to CRITICIZE HBCUs in EVERY SINGLE THREAD?  

Right is right and wrong is wrong. When NCCU is a historical black law school it should be called out when they don't rank in the top 4. Let's be serious......and lets call out the facts when we see them and stop getting upset.

Ranking behind 2 very top law schools makes NCCU look bad.

The issue is probably not that NCCU Law School is not graduating black students. It may be attributed to the large # of non-black enrollees. (I used italics because those were not facts just my thoughts)

So what do you propose...denying entry to the non-black students?

The issue is probably not that NCCU Law School is not graduating black students. It may be attributed to the large # of non-black enrollees. (I used italics because those were not facts just my thoughts)

So what do you propose...denying entry to the non-black students?

Keep in mind that Florida A&M University has the most diverse law school not NCCU. Yet, FAMU's College of Law is new and already, with all of its diversity, has more black graduates than NCCU. As hard as it is for anyone one, regardless of race or ethnicity, to get into Harvard and Georgetown ....they graduated more blacks than did NCCU.

This means something is wrong at NCCU School of Law.

Just think if UNC Charlotte ever absorbs the private Charlotte School of Law.

Man you are just being illogical.

AND silly.

[NovaSkegee]

Man you are just being illogical.

Just because you don't agree doesn't make this discussion illogical.

[WileECoyote06]

Sidebar:  That Charlotte School of Law should have been an extension campus of our school of law.  Haters everywhere we go.  Que Sera. 

[Cholly]

Man you are just being illogical.

AND silly.

Just because you don't agree doesn't make this discussion illogical.

No, YOU are being illogical.

It is totally  ILLOGICAL to criticize Central because it doesn't produce as many black law grads as Harvard or Georgetown.

Your whole thesis that because it is a public HBCU law school it should automatically produce more black grads than Harvard or Georgetown has absolutely NO rational basis, ESPECIALLY in the face of the facts.

And the fact that you continue to harp on the SAME ridiculous point of contention is also irrational. 

Wouldn't be so bad if this were a one time thing... but you do this over and over and over and over again man.

And it's boring. 

[y04185]

i'm not sure about the year in question, but nccu has in the past had graduating classes with a large and at times a majority white graduates.  it is not uncommon to hear of an nccu law school grad doing great things and that grad is white.  there is nothing wrong with nccu being ranked where they are.  it is a sign of the times.

How do you conclude that something is wrong with NCCU of Law with what you just said?

You really sound like a hater rather than a person that is sincerely concerned with the well being of HBCU's.

BTW: I never saw any post from you where you offered any solutions to the "problems" you have brought up.

So begin to offer solutions or just stop with the train wreck.

Why not? It's a fact.

The solution is for NCCU to do what FAMU has done in a matter of no time. FAMU has done an excellent job and they are on top of that the most diverse law school in the United States.

There's only 1 historically black law school in North Carolina and there's only 1 historically black law school in Florida and there's only 1 historically black law school in Louisiana and there's only 1 historically black law school in Texas.

North Carolina Central University has to be doing something wrong to rank under Harvard and Georgetown in terms of graduating the larger number of black law students.

[Valley Girl]

People plug raw data into statistical models for a reason...

If every law school had the same history, endowments, enrollments, location similarities etc., then just looking at numbers and drawing conclusions would be fair and less debateable...but since that is virtually impossible they use statistical analysis

Like I said in a previous thread you havw to get behind the #'s...statisticians, research scientists, and analysts don't just build models for their health...   

[NovaSkegee]

NCCU School of Law may need to look at Harvard and Georgetown in order to learn what it takes to produce more African American graduates.
