While it may be nice to think uncc would ride in as a shining knight, it has to be more complex than that. Others on this forum have mentioned issues which exist in Raleigh and it just isnt that easy.
Also, consider the lease of property they now occupy and its desirability, the amount of liability assumed by absorbing the dirty name and potential litigation from current stdents, alumni, etc...
IF uncc decided to open a law school (with the blessing of the unc system), why bring on the mess of csl?
In my business, a fire sale is a blessing and a curse. There is a reason why things didnt work out, and you must know as much as possible before pulling the trigger.
Btw....no full time grad degree at uncc can be had for 10k a year. Nor can the unc system provide such. The unc law school is around 24k, and the cheapest in state is central, at 18k. I cant imagine they would do it for less than 20k.
Most of the students at csl had requirement issues elsewhere, hence the problem situation they currently find themselves in. Some, however, enrolled due to convenience. Some have practiced and started successful careers. Just not that many. That does lend itself to your point....charlotte needs a law school (quality school).
