Thought of the Day - November 16, 2009

When you think of good ways our state could spend taxpayer dollars in

times like these, does creating a new law school in the UMass system

come to mind as a priority?

Well, for some people, that’s exactly what’s on their mind.

There is a plan underway for the state to merge the privately-owned

Southern New England School of Law (SNESL) into the UMass/

Dartmouth campus. It’s an idea that first surfaced back in 2005,

and which has been floating around ever since.
