George Leef: The Secret Is Out

This is a week old, but some messages bear repeating. Here's just a sample from this nice little write-up by George Leef at the Pope Center:
One of the principles law students learn in their contracts courses is that a contract entered into as a result of fraud is voidable at the option of the defrauded party. If a law school employs false or misleading statistics to make it seem as though enrolling there is an almost certain path to a high-paying legal job, it has crossed the line. As Professor Henderson says, “law schools have a special moral obligation to tell the truth about themselves.” Clearly, some are not.

The reason why they don’t isn’t hard to find: they’re cash cows.

Leef says, almost verbatim, the exact same things the so-called "scambloggers" have been saying for two years.

Leef is not some random, anonymous, disgruntled loner. He is the Pope's Director of Research and a Duke Law graduate who has spent his recent professional life advocating free markets.
