Western State Submits Teach-Out Plan To ABA; Sixth Law School To Close Since 2016

Following up on my previous posts (links below):  ABA Journal, Western State College of Law Submits Proposed Teach-Out Plan to ABA:

Western State College of Law, which is part of the embattled Argosy University System, has submitted a proposed teach-out plan with the ABA after losing its federal student loan money, being placed in receivership and conducting a search for an acquisition partner. 

Details of what is in the Callifornia school’s proposal were not disclosed on the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar website, where the notice is posted. Barry Currier, the ABA’s managing director of accreditation and litigation, said that other than the notice, everything else about the proposal is not public.
