Provost Shirley Willihnganz has written a comprehensive response to J. Bruce Miller's attack on the University of Louisville. Provost Willihnganz's contribution to the Courier-Journal, styled "UofL 'well on its way' to becoming a premier university," mentioned the Law School:

Our law school ranked 98th of 184 programs — not out of 100, as Miller claimed. Our 2008 entering class had a median LSAT score of 156, equivalent to an SAT score of 1120, and an average undergraduate GPA of 3.45. This puts us closer to the top 50 percent, rather than the bottom 5 percent as Miller claims.

Along with the rest of the University of Louisville community, I thank Provost Willihnganz for her valiant — and correct — defense of our university.
