There are a lot of people in the Chicago area that are DePaul Law School grads who are probably grinding their teeth when they read of this fiasco. I would not suggest that the degrees that people have already received or will receive are negatively impacted due to this nonsense. The faculty and the students are still as productive as they always have been. Don’t blame them for ego problems and greed at the top.

The question now is how this taints the law degrees of previous – or even present – graduates of the DePaul Law School. For those attorneys who proudly displayed their degree on the wall of their office, or proudly pointed to their degree in their CV, what questions will now arise about their education in the wake of this imbroglio? I’m glad I decided not to attend DePaul, even though their acceptance letter was the first I received.

Tin-pot dictators wear Roman collars too it seems. Real authority comes from consensus; power, though inevitably fleeting, derives from ego, enabled by one’s position over others.

Money talks and BS gets you elected to the right Office. Maybe they want change from not within and are maybe taking a new direction for the school? Can change so long as the old warden and guards are still in charge.

But, the reason is not mine to question. Is is to ask why? Why do I care? Because? How does this affect me?

If they are corrupt and receive public money, then I care.
