DePaul Removes Dean of Law School :*(

As I'm sure everybody is currently aware, the DePaul University Provost recently fired wildly popular Dean Weissenberger from his position as Dean of DePaul's law school.

Everyone will remember his great level of interaction with and advocacy for the student body, especially his participation in student - faculty events such as the Public Interest Law Auction and the infamous trivia days during the lunch hour.

The SBA, and the rest of the students have expressed sadness and strong disagreement with the decision, as do I. Best of luck Dean Weissenberger. I, along with the rest of the student body appreciate everything that you have done for our College and your contributions will always be remembered.

Please feel free to leave comments with your reflections.
