Northwestern law school is facing an unprecedented and outrageous situation. The university is trying to impose a critical-studies woke Dean on the law school; the faculty is fighting back. To overcome faculty resistance, the university set up a Dean search committee with exceptional procedures that violate the ABA rules and the law school’s own long-standing rules. Throughout the Dean search process, the faculty did not receive any information about the candidates, not even the names of finalists. The faculty complained to the Provost, citing the violation of ABA rule 203, but the Provost essentially dared the faculty to make this violation public and cause disaccreditation of their own law school. In response, the faculty unanimously passed a new voting rule, requiring secret ballots for all appointments-related votes, starting September 1.
On Friday, May 7, the interim Dean Jim “I am a racist” Speta sent an email (below). For the first time ever, the faculty learned the identity of the new Dean, Hari Osofsky of Penn State, the school far below Northwestern in rankings. The Dean needs tenure, so, the faculty is instructed to vote tenure to Osofsky the next working day, Monday.
This is an astonishing violation of faculty appointments rules long in effect at Northwestern. Osofsky never met with the faculty. There was no job talk, a strict requirement for all tenured appointments. There was no job talk paper. There were no office interviews. There was no committee of experts from the candidate’s field to study her work in detail and report, also a long-standing requirement that has never been violated in recent history. There were no outside recommendation letters, also mandatory. No reports of citations and other quantitative impact measures, another standard practice. There was no committee report issued in advance of the meeting, also mandatory.
This Saturday Night Special scheme — the surprise meeting, with a surprise candidate, announced on Friday, to be held on Monday morning — is clearly meant to thwart the faculty’s ability to gather information and coordinate. There is no legitimate purpose for this. The secret-ballot voting rule, passed unanimously in the face of the Dean search process, does not become operational until September 1. The faculty has been threatened with severe repercussions if they vote against Osofsky.
We have no choice but to make these egregious violations of ABA rules, law school’s own procedural rules, and basic decency and fairness known to the world. Anonymously.

Subject: Meeting Monday, at 10:00 a.m.: Candidacy of Professor Hari Osofsky
Dear colleagues:
I am calling a tenure-line faculty meeting for next Monday, May 10, at 10:00 a.m., for the purpose of discussing and voting on a recommendation that the Provost’s selection for our new dean, Professor Hari Osofsky, be named to the tenured faculty of the Law School. Professor Osofsky is currently the Dean of both the Law School and the School of International Affairs at Penn State. She was previously on the faculty at Minnesota Law, among other schools. She is an accomplished scholar in several fields, including international and environmental law, and, of course, an experienced administrator.
I attach to this email Professor Osofsky’s CV, and here is her webpage. Members of the search committee will also speak to her background and qualifications at the meeting.
This unusually expedited procedure is necessary, given the continuing nonpublic nature of the search. In that regard, this meeting is being held before any public announcement and before any broader internal announcement. I therefore request (as does the Provost) that you refrain from sharing this information either internally or externally and keep this confidential until the matter is concluded and such public announcements can be made.
Please let me know if you have any questions. A Zoom link will be forthcoming shortly.
Thanks,
Jim
James B. Speta
Interim Dean

Her professional leadership roles have included, among others, serving as President of the Association for Law, Property, and Society; chair of the American Association of Law School’s Section on Property; and a member of the Executive Council of the American Society of International Law and the International Law Association’s Committee on the Legal Principles of Climate Change. She also is a member of the Board of Governors of the Society of American Law Teachers and the editorial board of Climate Law. Her leadership and mentorship work was recognized by the Association for Law, Property, and Society’s 2016 Distinguished Service Award and the University of Minnesota 2015 Sara Evans Faculty Woman Scholar/Leader Award.

What’s the backstory here? Like there are too many conservative/business-oriented profs at NU Law and so they’re bringing in a woke dean to go to war with them?
Osofsky seems like a garden variety shitlib, and there are plenty of those serving as law school deans. Not sure what makes this one so alarming.

Dear Northwestern Pritzker Law Alumni,
I am pleased to share that Hari M. Osofsky has been appointed dean of Northwestern Pritzker School of Law, effective Aug. 1. Dean Osofsky comes to us from Penn State, where she serves as dean of Penn State Law and the Penn State School of International Affairs and Distinguished Professor of Law, professor of international affairs, and professor of geography.
Dean Osofsky has an impressive track record as a leading scholar of and contributor to public policy work on energy transition and climate change. She’s also a respected leader who has focused on collaboratively building legal and international affairs education for a changing society, including initiatives in mentoring, technology and innovation, interdisciplinary and international partnerships, and diversity, equity and inclusion. In 2019, the American Bar Association’s Legal Technology Resource Center recognized her as one of the year’s top Women of Legal-Tech.
She has worked collaboratively to advance concrete actions on diversity, equity and inclusion at Penn State Law and the Penn State School of International Affairs. These include an anti-racism statement joined by more than 500 students, faculty, staff and alumni; new diversity scholarships; a new concentration in Race, Law and Equity; and the soon-to-launch Anuncia Donecia Songsong Manglona Lab focused on gender and economic equity. Under her leadership, Penn State Law also established an associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion.
Dean Osofsky earned bachelor’s degrees with distinction in philosophy and studies in the environment from Yale University; a law degree from Yale Law School; and a Ph.D. in geography from the University of Oregon. She clerked for Judge Dorothy W. Nelson of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Prior to joining the Pennsylvania State University, Osofsky served on the faculties of University of Minnesota Law School, Washington and Lee University School of Law, the University of Oregon School of Law and Whittier Law School.
She will take over for James Speta, Elizabeth Froehling Horner Professor of Law at the Law School, who has served as interim dean since July 2020. Please join me in welcoming Dean Osofsky into her new role, and thanking Interim Dean Speta for his outstanding service during this transition.
Sincerely,
Kathleen Hagerty
Provost and Professor

Deans Should Not Solicit Signatures For Statements On Matters Of Public Concern
https://reason.com/volokh/2021/05/11/deans-should-not-solicit-signatures-for-statements-on-matters-of-public-concern/
"Even worse, at least one Dean solicited faculty members to sign such a statement. Professor Brian Leiter (Chicago) reports that Dean Hari Osofsky (Penn State) asked her colleagues to join an open letter "condemning racist violence, police brutality, and systematic racism against Black men and women." Osofsky wrote, "I am signing this letter and I hope you will consider signing." (Osofky was recently appointed Dean at Northwestern)."

nice to read something sensible on occasion
https://leiterreports.typepad.com/blog/2021/05/equity-cum-demographic-diversity-is-not-a-value-in-scholarship-redux.html
[R]acial or demographic equity in citations is not a value in scholarship; truth and knowledge are the only values. If past racism has resulted in neglect of scholars who can contribute to truth and knowledge in a particular domain, then the demand should be to name those scholars so that they can be studied. But equity-qua--demographic-diversity per se is not a scholarly value. It has a stronger claim to be a value in pedagogy....
