I’m so out of it. All this time I thought women and minorities were the ones who got short shrift. That’s no longer the case—at least not in legal academia. They are doing dandy. Even better, they are overrepresented!
That’s according to Northwestern University School of Law professor James Lindgren. He writes in his working paper, “Measuring Diversity: Law Faculties in 1997 and 2013″:
Affirmative action has succeeded so thoroughly that, compared to lawyers, the largest underrepresented groups in law schools today are white Christians, Christians, white Republicans, and Republicans.
