Regardless of how they're doing it, they're spending $50,000 a year to attend the 47th ranked law school in the country. They can't be that bright.

I don't see where this is the law school - I would assume it's the undergrad school, unless I missed something.

I actually enrolled at the law school in 1998 and moved out to Lexington. LOVED it out there. I had to withdraw and transfer to the University of Minnesota law school because of family emergencies... always wondered how life's path may have been different had I been able to stay out there. W&L was ranked ~20 when I was there. I see US News has it at 43 now... I wonder what led to the significant decline.

“..moved out to Lexington and LOVED it out there...”

My daughter and her fiance graduated from W & L last year. When they enrolled it was ranked in the low 30’s, I think. Any law school ranked in the top 50 is considered top tier, and being top tier is still prestigious, although the ratings decline is of concern, of course.

Anyway, my daughter and her fiance loved Washington & Lee and now both have excellent first year attorney positions in Manhattan, and had no problems whatsoever passing the New York State bar, so I have a high regard for W & L.

By the way, Lee was far more about states’ rights than wanting to preserve slavery. (and I live in New York State, so am not necessarily very invested in being a Lee apologist).

There have been several stories on this. It started with about 10 law school students. It may have expanded to the undergrads.
