She claims several disabilities, from Asperger's to ADHD to something math specific. Her attorney claims that they accepted her knowing her SAT scores put her in the bottom 5% in math, so it was THEIR responsibility to substitute other classes. They want to delay the trial so that a math prof proficient in teaching people with disabilities can tutor her, thus upholding the math requirement.

While there's something to be said for learning disabilities (one of my favorite radio hosts has Asperger's and speaks on-air about it frequently), this sounds like a rush to a court-driven payday....

Check out Liberty's debate program, the new (already with a preliminary accreditation) school of medicine, the school of law that sees a TON of grads pass the bar first time up, etc.

Look at what a school actually DOES before you smack it, dude. You're flat out WRONG....

Are you ready for this SuperHornet
Because I don't want to break your heart

Just let me know when you're ready to discus the Liberty Law School
and their notorious practice of teaching their students how to pass the Bar Exam
and not necessarily be able to competently practice law (this is an important distinction)
So much so - that it's been written about in the Wall Street Journal (Atlantic etc.) and all over

But don't confuse this with me defending Penn or Yale or Harvard
Lots of places have great programs to study Law (but Liberty is not one of them)

Ivy League MBA's have done as much damage as Bush administration lawyers who graduated from Liberty.
