In a bylined article, Dean Frank Wu of the WSU Law School, takes issue with a UCLA law professor who has argued that racially-conscious law school admissions policies hurt African Americans in the long run by admitting them to schools where they cannot compete. Wu contends that if consideration were not given to race "There is little doubt that these institutions would quickly become resegregated." He points out that there are many measures other than LSAT scores and GPA that influence an applicant's ability to successfully complete law school. These include background and life experiences, commitment, civic engagement "and other traits vital to the success of lawyers and law schools."
