Please do not put discussion within the article. If there is something worthwhile that you would like to add to the article, feel free. Also, sourced corrections are welcome (by the way...linking to the bar passage rates from Roger Williams promotional material...maybe not such a good source).
As others have mentioned, the majority of this article was obviously written by staff at the school. So not terribly neutral. Any attempt to redress this situation would be great.

I'm glad that people are attempting to fix this article but it's one-sided enough without removing any tiny bit of (sourced) negative contribution. I'll concede that the link to the average salaries is a couple years old and can be removed. I'll look for a more recent source which will undoubtedly give the same results.
But the Vault.com link to the "underated schools" is at least as poor a source. The link lists about half of the schools in the US as "underrated", for one thing.
Also, when you actually read the comments for Roger Williams, it says "Great students who choose the school because of all the full-tuition scholarships the school give out."
That's a backhanded compliment. It's implying that school has a very bad reputation and "great students" only go there because they're given full scholarships.
Finally, saying "currently, Roger Williams is a fourth tier law school" is a clear case of weasel word usage. It's implying that the school is up and coming and will one day soon get out of the fourth tier. Any evidence of this?

the schools intro article needs edited. the current news should either be moved from the intro into its own section or removed all together. stuperduper seems to only be posting about this one topic & determined to include his/her opinion. with a current news event like this the info is already outdated.
