Kansas U Law School Applications Plummet Almost 23 Percent
Updated: A predicted drop of as much as 20 percent in law school applications to Kansas University this year has exceeded expectations.
Applications have plummeted nearly 23 percent, reports the Lawrence Journal World.
“This trend of double-digit drops in applications, nearly every school in the country is experiencing this,” notes Stephen Mazza, dean of KU’s law school. Early this year, the national average was 12 to 13 percent, he says, but the reduction in applications has probably gotten even bigger since then.
