Chron: TSU Replaces Law School Dean After Continued Troubles, Low Bar Scores

Texas Southern University’s law school dean is out of the job, signaling continued tumult for a program recovering from an admissions scandal that toppled the former university president.

Joan R.M. Bullock served almost three years as the Thurgood Marshall School of Law’s first female dean – and tenth dean overall. While she took the job intending to improve the school’s standards, bar rates remain low: Between one-third and one-half of Texas Southern students pass each qualifying exam, regularly ranking last among the state’s schools.
