Under pressure from the Georgetown University Black Law Students Association (BLSA), adjunct professor Sandra Sellers was fired for lamenting the fact that black students dominate the bottom tiers of performance. Georgetown Law Dean Bill Treanor said he was "appalled that one of our faculty members would be caught admitting this. Under our affirmative action guidelines, all students are considered equal regardless of their performance in the program."
It's not as if finding blacks disproportionately occupying the lower strata of the the class rankings is unusual. Coming into elite universities like Georgetown the average SAT scores for different ethnic groups has consistently shown that Asians rank highest and blacks rank lowest. The margin is about 450 points. It is not surprising that the lower scoring blacks would under-perform.
The BLSA contends that this under-performance is due to "blatant and shameless racism." However, exams are graded without the professors knowing who wrote which exam paper. BLSA spokesperson Rasheed Johnson said "it don't matter whether the name is on the paper, the exams rely on white logic and white grammar. Brothers and sisters who use black logic and black grammar are going to be judged unfairly."

Coke wants the law firm they hire to have black lawyers....How many of those affirmative action lawyers will coke use????
The truth hurts so don’t tell it.
“All this arose from the “everybody get a trophy” movement.”
I suspect that it started even earlier. The women’s movement and feminism forced traditional male occupations like the military, law enforcement, fire departments, etc., to hire women. They were unable to compete physically but were still promoted ahead of more qualified men. Promotion based on merit was replaced with “equal opportunity” and quotas.
Try to imagine what would happen to a law professor at this “Catholic” university if he criticized Roe v Wade.
Well, then, is it a lie?
