Pocohontas Warren got special copnsiderations by claiming to be a Native American Indian, edging out some real native American Indian, and kamala got admitted to the bar on a special DEI program for disadvantaged blacks. Sadly, there is no special program for the disadvantaged that will miraculously transform a candidate from ill-qualified to well-qualified.
Easy – she fudged her application. Harris was admitted under a program called LEOP. According to the University:
Easy – she fudged her application. Harris was admitted under a program called LEOP. According to the University:
In a Politico article from 2021, the author describes Harris at Hastings:UC Hastings created the Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP) in 1969 to make an outstanding legal education accessible to those who come from disadvantaged economic and educational backgrounds.
Students are encouraged to submit a “separate LEOP statement describing the adversity they faced and its impact on their academic preparedness for law school. Diagnostic reports documenting disabilities and/or accommodations can be submitted as addenda.”
In the fall of 1986, Harris arrived on campus at Hastings a week before most of her classmates. She was part of the pre-orientation Legal Education Opportunity Program (LEOP), which had been founded in 1969 to help law students from disadvantaged communities navigate the stringent demands of the first-year curriculum. Harris had come to a predominantly white institution after four years at a historically Black university. Beyond introducing students to Socratic pedagogy, case-briefing and exam-taking, the pre-orientation also gave students of color a sense of community and a hamlet of solidarity in a cut-throat environment.
