SAN FRANCISCO — Now that he has been given the role full time, UC-Hastings College of the Law Chancellor and Dean David Faigman has big plans to bolster the school’s stature, including improving what he called a “horrific” bar passage rate.
Hastings’ board of directors unanimously voted to keep Faigman on after a search committee evaluated nearly 100 candidates. He replaces Frank Wu, who stepped down at the beginning of 2016, just one year after his appointment had been renewed through 2020. Faigman has been serving as interim dean since then.
