Following up on my prior posts (links below): The ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar on August 12 publicly censured Villanova for knowingly submitting inflated LSAT and GPA data:

So, just to clarify,what we have here is an undisputed, documented and proven case in which a law school administration purposely falisfied information with the intent of increasing its ranking profile!?!
Are we to believe that this behavior was/is isolated to only one school, and only to LSAT/GPA data??? Or, could all those "scam bloggers" be on to something?
Thoughts, Prawfs?
