Diversity at UC Irvine
Chemerinsky Settles Into Irvine.... here, while the rumor mills buzz about who will be on the founding faculty, beyond those already reported on this blog. The way things are shaping up it looks like the most striking fact about the new UC Irvine law faculty is that it may be the most diverse in terms of race/ethnicity and gender of any major law faculty in the country. We should have more details soon…
But how about intellectual diversity? Will there be any people of faith? Will there be anybody who believes in free markets? Will there be anybody who belongs to the Federalist Society?
I’d like to see some diversity with true second-career lawyers (not just a couple of accountants who decided to up their billing rates). And maybe one or two who went through law school as parents.
But that would be a pipe dream, because the academic-feeder schools tend not to admit (or, at minimum, provide financial aid to) students with those profiles.

I understand why you’re complaining. But in the end, a lack of intellectual diversity at UCI will redound to the benefit of UCLA.
You have to love free markets…
