@bluebayou: I don’t know any word other than “lie” for bottom tier schools reporting median salaries of $160,000. Or promising great employment rates. Or, more topically, saying they evaluate “holistically” when in fact they care almost exclusively about GPA/LSAT. Obviously the deans at the top have to lie less because their schools are better, but they’ll still do it when needed. See, for example, the massaging of job stats during the height of the Recession, even at the top schools.
