The following is a decision of the Executive Committee of the Association of American Law Schools (AALS) issued in response to Villanova University School of Law’s January 2011 discovery of misreported admissions data for years prior to 2010. The AALS is an academic membership organization, and its sanction of a two-year probation in the organization has no effect on the Law School’s accreditation. Villanova University School of Law has been an American Bar Association (ABA) accredited law school since 1954 and continues to be. No new issues were raised in the AALS’s review. Villanova University School of Law’s independent compliance monitor, Freeh Sporkin & Sullivan, found in its Spring 2012 report that the Law School has “implemented a robust program to prevent and deter any similar actions in the future” and that there has been a change in “the tone and culture within the law school as it relates to ABA reporting.”
