Procedural Changes Relating to the Admission of Students
to the College of Law, Urbana
(Report for Information)
(9) On September 20, 1978, the Admissions Committee of the College of Law,
Urbana, proposed the following modifications to the college admissions procedures:
1. That the admission process for all students be combined into a single process,
that is, that the separate admission program for minority students be discon-
tinued.
2. That the admission process be structured so that all students with a predictive
index above a level to be determined annually by the admissions committee
would be admitted automatically to the College of Law. The cut-off would be
sclected so as to include approximately 75 percent of the entering class in this
automatic admission category. MI applicants between that automatic admission
level and an annually defined minimum admission level would be evaluated
individually by the admissions committee and enough of them admitted to
achieve an entering class of 215 to 220 students.
3. That the evaluation and ranking of students within this individual evaluation
group be made by giving significant weight to the prediction index, but also
with an eye to identifying:
a. Students whose numerical records appear to underpredict their likelihd
of success in law school, and
b. Students whose admission would contribute to the diversity essential to
achieving even more variety and richness in the educational experience at
the College of Law.
4. That the factors which the committee would use to identify underprediction,
diversity, or both, would include:
