About ten years ago, I came across a mention of a book entitled Toxic Diversity by Touro Law School professor Dan Subotnik. I got the book and found it to be a superb attack on the diversity mania gripping higher education. The mania still rages, of course, and his book is still an excellent counter-weight. (My review of the book is available here.)

Professor Subotnik has recently gotten into hot water with the “progressives” in the legal establishment for having argued that the LSAT isn’t all bad. A measured and reasonable article of his drew an ugly, vitriolic reply from another law professor, but his offered rejoinder was rejected. Read all about this dispute in this TaxProf Blog post.

The merits of the LSAT aren’t really the issue, though. What has set off Subotnik’s opponents is that he isn’t on board with the notion that the legal profession must have more “diversity.” Dissent from the groupthink mentality of the left and you get pilloried.
