Stanford allowed and even encouraged students to shout down Judge Duncan last month, House Committee on Education and the Workforce said in a letter to the bar association. The letter emphasised remarks made by Tirien Steinbach, the law school diversity dean who berated the judge and took the podium from him for causing \u201charm\u201d. Accreditation by the American Bar Association is required for law schools to receive federal funds. An investigation into Stanford\u2019s accreditation could threaten the school\u2019s finances, thereby putting pressure on it to sanction the disruptors.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Rep. Virginia Foxx (R.-N.C.), chairwoman of the committee, said, \u201cWith our letter comes accountability. We will not rest until we help restore the true intent and purpose of higher education.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The American Bar Association stipulates that every accredited law school must have a policy that promotes academic freedom. Stanford\u2019s policy, as per its faculty handbook, says that \u201cthe widest range of viewpoints\u201d should be free from \u201ccoercion\u201d, a condition that the letter claims no longer exists at the law school. The letter reads, \u201cIn no sense can it be said that Stanford Law School adhered to its announced encouragement of the \u2018widest range of viewpoints\u2019, and in no sense were Judge Duncan\u2019s viewpoints \u2018free from \u2026 internal or external coercion\u2019.\u201d It adds that having a policy \u201cimplies that the law school follows its policy.\u201d Stanford did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Burgess Owens (R.-Utah), the chairman of the higher education subcommittee, co-signed the letter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Steinbach is currently on leave, while Stanford has declined to discipline the students responsible for disrupting Judge Duncan, stating that doing so would be unfair given the \u201cconflicting signals\u201d they received. The decision has compounded the law school\u2019s PR problem, prompting law professor John Banzhaf of George Washington University to prepare to file a bar complaint against the disruptors.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Law school may be &#8216;out of compliance&#8217; with accreditation standards on academic freedom Stanford diversity dean Tirien Steinbach \/ Vimeo House Republicans are asking the American Bar Association to investigate Stanford Law School over the disruption of Fifth Circuit appellate judge Kyle Duncan, arguing that the law school is &#8220;out of compliance&#8221; with accreditation standards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":184,"featured_media":1908056,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[544],"tags":[4123,8278,9304,21304,22782,3653,4235,6547,3756,3924,10594],"class_list":["post-1908055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-free-beacon","tag-american","tag-association","tag-bar","tag-disruption","tag-duncan","tag-house","tag-investigate","tag-law","tag-republicans","tag-school","tag-stanford"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908055","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/184"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1908055"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1908055\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1908056"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1908055"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1908055"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1908055"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
