Dear Fellow Law Students

May 6, 2003

Dear Fellow Law Students:

As school ends and some of us graduate, the Law School's admission policy is probably the last thing any of us care about. Nonetheless, after the controversy raised by the Michigan case, I think it is important to share with you the enclosed internal documents before you depart.

The IU University Counsel recently produced these documents months after I first requested them from the Law School administration and only after I was compelled to file a formal complaint with the State due to IU's failure to submit a timely response consistent with the State's Open Records Law. The documents need no interpretation or summary. But to follow them, it may help to know that Pat Clark is the Director of Admissions, Frank Motley was the Dean of Admissions, an LSAT of 160 meant roughly the 83rd percentile of all test takers and an LSAT of 145 meant roughly the 28th percentile.

The documents raise serious doubt about the description of the Law School's admission policy set forth in the Law School's brief to the United States Supreme Court in Grutter v. University ofMichigan. The documents also serve, in large part, to vindicate Law Professor Robert Heidt, who, in a December piece in the Indianapolis Star, brought to the attention of the public the extreme measures the Law School has been taking to achieve its diversity objectives and was subsequently assailed by Dean Robel, Professors Stake and Brown, the BLSA, and the SLA, among others. But now you can judge for yourselves.

Sincerely,

Scott M. Dillon (scmdillo(!indiana.edu)

Member of the Graduating Class of 2003

*Of note, much of this information was earlier provided to each member of each year's student law association, with the aspiration that those individuals might share the information with those they are entrusted to represent. Unfortunately, the release of this information was never formally provided to the student body, and thus, it is now being disbursed in this manner.

Re:Open Records Act Request

Dear Mr. Dillon:

I have enclosed copies of documents that are responsive to your request under the open records act for records containing:

(1) the yearly average LSAT and GPA, from the 1990/91 academic year through the present, for the following groups: (a) minorities, (b) nonminorities, (c) residents, (d) nonresidents, (e) Blacks, (f) Hispanics, and (g) Asians.

As I mentioned in my February 7 letter, the Law School does not have such records for the 200001, 200102, and 200203 academic years.

The enclosed records have been redacted to remove information outside the scope of your request.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the enclosed documents.

Sincerely,

r

Associate University Counsel
