Closius did not leave quietly, sending a letter to the law faculty and students accusing the university of taking 45% of law school-generated revenue to use for non-law school purposes.
University President Robert Bogomolny struck back on Aug. 1 with a letter of his own to the law school faculty, calling Closius’ allegations about finances “misleading and incomplete.” He countered that less than 14% of law school-generate revenue is allocated toward general university operations after the law school’s operating costs are deducted. That percentage is lower than national estimates of the average “tax” that law schools pay to their larger universities, he wrote.
