Syracuse Commode of Law Spews Forth Orange Waste: On January 15, 2014, the Wall Street Journal Law Blog published Jacob Gershman’s piece, which was entitled “Dramatic Enrollment Drop Was Strategically Planned, Law School Says.” Check out this opening:
“The historic drop in enrollment at U.S. law schools has been the subject of anxious debate in the legal community. Some view the pattern as a symptom of a sluggish job market and growing skepticism about the value of a law degree.
According to Syracuse University’s College of Law, which has seen a particularly steep drop in its class sizes, the shrinking numbers are the result of smarter planning.
Syracuse’s Class of 2016 is nearly 25% smaller than its Class of 2014, decreasing from 255 to 196 over two years. The law school’s director of admissions, Nikki Laubenstein, spoke to the campus newspaper about the enrollment trend and offered this take:
“Our smaller class size is strategically managed and planned to provide the optimal level of engagement for our students with our law school faculty and programming opportunities,” she told the Daily Orange in an article published Wednesday.” [Emphasis mine]
These lying bastards take dishonesty to a whole new level. In this country, we are used to seeing CEO pigs, Congressroaches, and business managers employ corporatese and other underhanded tricks. However, these academic dung beetles have these bastards beat, hands down.
Keep in mind that Nikki Laubenstein is the direcTTor of Admi$$ion$ at 96th ranked $yracu$e Univer$iTTy Commode of Law. On her school bio, you will notice that she does not even have a damn law degree! Yet, she sees no problem with “strongly encouraging” young college grads to take the plunge.

The Daily Orange posted a January 15, 2014 article from assistant news editor Ellen Meyers, under the headline “Law school enrollment drops for second year in a row.” Look at the following excerpt:
“Syracuse University’s College of Law’s first-year enrollment declined for the second year in a row, after reaching an all-time high in 2011.
Enrollment peaked in 2010 and 2011 at 255 students. The number of students slightly fell to 245 in 2012, but that number sharply dropped to 196 for 2013.
Nikki Laubenstein, director of admissions at the College of Law, said in an email the class size is smaller to benefit students and faculty.” [Emphasis mine]
Yeah, sure the school planned these smaller class sizes - and Salma Hayek just dug her nails into my back and locked her ankles around my waist. When it comes to sheer gall, Laubenstein’s excrementitious statement cannot be topped. With this type of material, this rodent ought to become a stand-up comedienne. Now, head to the conclusion:
“Construction on Dineen Hall, the new facility for the College of Law, is well underway and is scheduled to be completed by next fall. Laubenstein said it is an exciting time for the law school.
“This year’s exciting move into Dineen Hall allows us to continue to evaluate and redefine what it means for the student experience and to be a part of Syracuse Law,” she said.” [Emphasis mine]
This is about as exciting as getting hit by a car.

Other Coverage: On January 16, 2014, the Law School Truth Center featured a hilarious entry labeled “…And Syracuse Takes the Prize.” Here is the entire text of that post:
“I don't know what prize, but this should win something:
Syracuse’s Class of 2016 is nearly 25% smaller than its Class of 2014, decreasing from 255 to 196 over two years. The law school’s director of admissions, Nikki Laubenstein, spoke to the campus newspaper about the enrollment trend and offered this take:
“Our smaller class size is strategically managed and planned to provide the optimal level of engagement for our students with our law school faculty and programming opportunities,” she told the Daily Orange in an article published Wednesday.
I mean...just...like...uh...
I'm awestruck.
Nikki, you ever come to the Center, there's a golden barstool with your name on it and drinks are on the house.”

Dineen Hall’s Ridiculous Costs: From the trash pit’s press release, regarding the “gift” from the greedy pig Dineen family:
“The new building is expected to cost between $85 million to $90 million and total approximately 200,000 square feet. SU Architecture alumnus Richard Gluckman '70, G'71, of the Gluckman Mayner architectural firm in New York City, will be the lead architect on the project.” [Emphasis mine]
For $ome rea$on, these funds did not make their way to students, in the form of scholarships, grants, or reduced tuition. Then again, old-ass, wrinkly, rich white people would rather have buildings named after them - rather than a mere scholarship fund.
Conclusion: Nikki Laubenstein is a lying rat who has no integrity. Yes, I realize that the wench is hired by an ABA-accredited dung pit. She doesn’t want to alarm current students and potential applicants - especially with an upcoming move into a shiny, expensive, big-ass, new building. However, she is still the one uttering such nonsense.
