An Inclusive Litany

4/1/99

A former student at the Western State University School of Law is suing the school, claiming that admissions staff should have known she'd flunk out. 45-year-old Roya Saghafi of Redondo Beach, California, who holds an engineering degree from her native Iran, was assured she could overcome the challenges posed by her low LSAT scores and her limited English-speaking skills. The lawsuit alleges that one of the school's internal documents predicts a 10 percent success rate for students with comparable LSAT scores.
