The South Carolina Commission on Higher Education is set to vote on whether the founders of Charleston Law School should be permitted to sell the institution to InfiLaw, a private equity firm that already owns three other U.S. law schools. So reports The New York Times’ Dealbook.
Opponents of the deal argue that InfiLaw’s three other law schools have lax admission standards. But InfiLaw’s statistics for its students are largely comparable to Charleston Law School’s for tuition, salaries, jobs, low loan default rates and passage of the bar.
