  6. We can reasonably infer… • that the sale of CSOL to Infilaw would not be good for our students and alumni who have gone, now go, or will go to CSOL • that the sale of CSOL to Infilaw would not be good for CSOL or the local community

  7. Questions (Listed from the least to the most under our control. Questions 5 and 6 fall directly within the jurisdiction of the Senate. The Budget Committee might offer advice on question 4.) 1. Can Infilaw receive state approval to run CSOL? 2. How much would it cost us to buy CSOL from the directors or Infilaw? 3. Could we receive state approval to run CSOL? 4. How much could we realistically charge in tuition? Would a law school be viable at that level of tuition? 5. Does having a law school fit with our public and academic missions? 6. Could we make CSOL’s programs consistent with our conception of academic quality?
