As the proposed sale of Charleston School of Law to the for-profit InfiLaw Holding LLC chain of law schools nears its final stages, faculty members have appealed to South Carolina education officials to block the transfer.
The professors have sent letters to the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education raising concerns over InfiLaw’s record and what they view as its “culture of intimidation and fear.” The commission and the American Bar Association both must sign off on a sale. The commission’s Academic Affairs and Advisory Panel is scheduled to meet on Monday to discuss the sale and issue a recommendation to the full commission. The commission could make a final decision during its next meeting in early June.
