<p>[TaxProf</a> Blog: Villanova Goosed its U.S. News Ranking by ‘Knowingly’ Submitting Inflated LSAT and GPA Data to ABA](<a href=“http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2011/02/villanova-knowingly-.html]TaxProf”>http://taxprof.typepad.com/taxprof_blog/2011/02/villanova-knowingly-.html)</p>
<p>Inflating GPAs and standardized test scores of applicants and/or accepted students to juice your US News & World Report ranking???! Who da thunk it?</p>
<p>At least none of their staff went out and hired a prostitute…oh wait…</p>
<p>And we aren’t even wondering whether the persons involved in this behavior are Catholics, or attorneys/“officers of the Court.” In any case, there are obviously moral and ethical issues about their behavior. </p>
<p>There was an article in the newspaper today about an attorney who was arrested for allegedly breaking a law. Not an uncommon occurrence, I’m afraid to say. Such stories seldom identify the academic backgrounds of the wrongdoers.</p>
<p>I think it would be interesting if there was a blog or website that kept track of disbarments for wrongdoing, convictions relating to legal practice, etc. as a percentage of the number of graduates of each school. While I’d like to believe the numbers would generally be miniscule, I think it would still be fascinating to see these rankings.</p>
<p>Further proof of the LS scam.</p>
