Strategic Plan:
KRA1. Strengthening Admissions and Access

DRAFT

2010 Key Results

1. Increase in quality of incoming student body

a. Improvement of our 25th LSAT Percentile from 150 to at least 153, or should the national LSAT median (151) decline, at least 2 points above the national median. Efforts to improve our 25th percentile are not to the exclusion of continuing efforts to maintain and improve the top half of the class.
b. Improve from 50% to 60% the proportion of our student body coming from undergraduate institutions whose LSAT college mean is at or above the national LSAT median.
c. Improve the yield from 45% to 40% and improve conversion from 45% to 47%.

2. Increase in diversity of the student body in regard to racial, geographic, and academic /professional backgrounds. Increasing racial diversity is to be the primary focus; increasing geographic and academic/professional diversity is secondary.

2006 – 2010 Strategic Work

1. Increase the number of students in the applicant pool by 600.
2. Review, analyze and revise the scholarship grids each year to more effectively target and increase the yield of scholarship recipients in each cell of admitted students above the current LSAT median.
3. Increase the amount of scholarship funds by 65% to assist in the achievement of our quality and diversity goals.
4. Increase faculty involvement in student recruitment (participation at open houses, faculty contact and communication with applicants, etc.)
5. Develop new and creative mechanisms (events, communications, use of technology, etc.) for converting admitted students to matriculants.
6. Form a pre-law advisors committee from select feeder schools for the purpose of developing programs that will seek and provide information and build relations with pre-law advisors in general.
7. Sponsor and fund and pre-law visitation day(s) of feeder schools, including select feeder schools and sister schools (ELCA schools).
8. In 2005-2006, review existing diversity recruitment efforts with a view to developing and implementing in 2006-2007 a comprehensive diversity enhancement plan for the law school designed to identify, attract and increase the number of minority students enrolling in the law school.
9. Review existing recruitment efforts and develop new, creative and targeted recruitment efforts.
