Commentary: By withdrawing from the U.S. News & World Report rankings, Harvard and Yale law schools seek to suppress information exchange.
The Yale School of Law in downtown New Haven, Connecticut, is seen in 2021. The school in 2022 said it was withdrawing from the influential U.S. News & World Report rankings of the nation’s best law schools.
Consider two of the nation’s leading law schools: Stanford and Yale. Both are embroiled in extreme examples of curtailing speech for political views. Yale has earned derision for several recent incidents of students shouting down speakers with whom they disagreed; also, administrators threatened a student based on what they considered inappropriate speech.
Stanford Dean Jenny Martinez thoughtfully referred to those principles when she published a detailed defense of free speech in an effort to undo the damage at her school. “Our commitment to diversity and inclusion means weprotect the expression of all views,” Martinez writes. “The First Amendment does not give protesters a ‘heckler’s veto.’”
It was reassuring, then, to see that the U. of C. Law School, grounded in the most robust support of free speech, viewed our rankings as a matter of the First Amendment.
