Add Miami to the list of schools pumping graduates into temporary public interest positions in exchange for a small stipend in order to boost placement numbers.
Although the author put sarcasm in his title, improperly categorized it as a "recessionomics" thing, and missed that the law school has an incentive to place new graduates immediately (as opposed to helping the butchered classes of '08, '09, or '10), one has to appreciate the mainstream notice.
Additionally, one has to give some credit to Miami. Unlike some other institutions of "higher" learning that believe there to be little problem beyond the "short-term" recession, Miami has taken multiple steps to try and help its admitees, students, and alumni. I have no delusions that our problems would be solved if every school behaved exactly like Miami, but their course of action is certainly better than some of the "earth is flat" shills lining their pockets with government-backed tuition checks.
