Quote of the Day: Of Course The School's Mission Is to Move Up in the Rankings (and Make Money in the Process)

What's a law school's mission, aside from making money and moving up in the rankings?

We’re already quite confident that we’ll move up in the rankings again. We think we’ll be solidly in the top 25 and certainly in to the top seven or eight of all publics. But moving downtown isn’t about rankings. It’s about the mission of this law school.

— Douglas Sylvester, dean of the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law at Arizona State University, commenting on the school’s proposed move from Tempe to Phoenix.

(We mentioned previously that this proposed move would potentially come at a cost to students in the form of higher tuition, but Dean Sylvester now claims he’s “very hopeful” that there won’t be a tuition hike.)
