The rankings will disclose that Rutgers-Newark moved down from 83 to I think 87. Rutgers-Camden tumbled from 81 to 102. Our acting dean spent a lot of time trying to explain this to the faculty today. He pointed out that there are areas in which Camden was much better than Newark i.e. an 83% bar passage rate at Camden vs. 70% at Newark. He thinks what probably killed us was a one-point decline in the first-year class LSAT median, caused both by shrinking applications and (my guess) by the University's insistence that we enroll 180 students in the first year class this year. The University seems to have agreed that next year we will enroll no more than 160 first-year students and possibly fewer.
We'll have to see whether the merger of the law schools changes anything. For one thing, it is thought that having the law schools merge will decrease the size of the enrollments.
Just figured I'd give people a heads-up
