Dean Dobranski Speaks Out

There have been several reports on MoJ about recent events at Ave Maria Law School.  Now the school's dean gives his side of the story in an interview with the blog, Above the Law.  Here's an excerpt:

There’s no question that the relocation to Florida is a catalyst for the discontent. There is a significant group of people who don’t want to go and don’t want the school to go. And they’re doing whatever they can to stop it.

We also have a group of people here who have a very different idea of governance from the Board’s views, my views, and the ABA’s. They think that decisions like this can only be made if they are part of the decisionmaking process, as opposed to giving their input. They wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than sitting down with the board and making the decision about the move.

I'll leave it to others with direct knowledge of the situation to judge whether this accurately reflects the nature of the faculty's discontent.
