Thread: Is this statement about law schools/legal professions in Iowa

Does anyone know if this is true??? I mean, I never go there b/c people are constantly bashing each other and are not really giving useful comments, but this comment sounds..although bitter... quite sincere

Don't go to this place if you are a white heterosexual male who isn't a child of a professor at the University of Iowa. The administrators and faculty at this place will treat you like shit. The Dean of the law school, as well as the former Dean of Students, now the "Dean of Civic Engagement" (whatever this bullshit title means) are both flaming *******s who think that white heterosexual males are the bane of the profession. They only encourage, support and provide financial support for *******s, straight females, gays, and minorities. This place is hostile to anyone who doesn't fit into this "preferred" demographic. Further, they give support to failures in the profession (see the "instructors" like Nicholas Johnson [check him out, he hasn't had a real job or done anything of academic or professional significance in 40 years], someone who failed in life and the profession, but who think they're faculty and are owed some level of respect, but who are only "instructors") who retaliate against strong students capable of independent thought who refuse to cowtow to the losers they have teaching there.

Think again about going to this place. The administration is hostile to those who don't think like they do, the Career Services Office isn't interested in helping you connect with the job market, and they will do anything they can do railroad your efforts to obtain what you want from the experience. Go somewhere else. You'll be better off for making another choice.[/FONT]

I think that's way too negative. My cousin went to Iowa, and althogh she didn't love the city, she did have a good experience there. She is now a happy in-house with Citibank. People were passive and unengaged anywhere you go when eco. is bad and morale is low all across the nation, and I don't think it is a unique problem to Iowa. Have you ever been to UPenn campus??? Talking about a nice and expensive school with crappy systems/facilities/low morale!
