Petitioners' Victory! Or not.

This is for all those readers not on DE's friends and family list. In the comments, I will quote an email received from the Dean in response to the JY petition. I think the two main points are:

1. DE firmly dismisses the issues raised in the petition.
2. Boalt will offer another Civ Pro II class, but for a different reason.

The new class is being offered because "[t]ypically, around 160 students per year have enrolled in Civ Pro II, which means next year?s offerings must accommodate roughly 320 students. This clearly justifies adding a third section." However, it would be "inappropriate" to make any curriculum changes on the basis of a few students' objection to JY.

I think it's notable that DE goes out of his way to clarify that he's not validating the petition. Your thoughts?
