In the interest of clarifying my August 24, 2007 statement regarding the ABA inquiry, I have set forth below the verbatim "Conclusion" and "Response Requested" in the ABA letter.
Conclusion:
In accordance with Rule 13(a), the Accreditation Committee has reason to believe that the Ave Maria School of Law has not established compliance with Standard 405(a), regarding the obligation of a law school to establish and maintain conditions adequate to attract and retain a competent faculty.
[See Findings of Fact (7) - (21).]
Response Requested:
The Committee requests that the Dean of the Ave Maria School of Law submit a report by December 15, 2007, with all relevantinformation necessary to demonstrate compliance with Standard 405(a), including updated information regarding departures and hires of full-time faculty.
