Hey media types:

Before the fanfare in the newly-minted Ave Maria Town in 15 minutes, how about these little niceties that Dobranski, Monaghan and the Board failed to mention. Perhaps due diligence was not performed after all. This might make for great question from the press. Consider this in light of the currently unresolved ABA investigation:

ABA standard 105 requires acquiescence before the implementation of a major change. Cooley tried to jerk the ABA around on this one, and they got spanked for it (as affirmed by the Sixth Circuit--see bottom link). The Board is now doing the same thing. They obviously have no regard for the ABA or the students and alumni who are counting on acceditation.
