• Law Schools Sued in New York and Michigan Over Placement Information

The American Bar Association has already determined it wants more reliable and detailed information from law schools regarding graduate job placement, but two class action suits filed last week in New York and Michigan also want law schools to be held civilly liable for the information they provide. The suits were filed against New York Law School in New York County Supreme Court and Thomas M. Cooley Law School in Michigan but as plaintiffs' attorney David Anziska of Kurzon Strauss LLP in New York explained: "These suits are not just about NYLS and Thomas Cooley -- we believe the practice of inflating employment statistics and salary information is endemic among law schools.

• Our Communities Cannot Be Ignored

That is why the United Federation of Teachers, the NAACP and a broad coalition of elected officials are suing the Department of Education. In closing these 19 schools, the DOE and Chancellor [Joel Klein] flouted the letter of the law; they ignored entire communities, failed in their eight-year tenure to provide support services to struggling schools and ignored our neediest students.

By state law, it is my responsibility to hold all public schools - - including charter schools -- in New York accountable to the taxpayers. In 2005, in response to a series of school district scandals, legislation was passed requiring my office to audit every school district, board of educational cooperative services and charter school by March 2010.
