Arkansas lawmakers are asking why a distinguished teaching chair at the state’s law school in Little Rock has come to be named for former President Bill Clinton.
“There’s a lot of folks in academia today who seem to believe they are above the law and can do whatever they want,” said state Sen. Jason Rapert, a Republican. “They don’t think they need to adhere to guidelines or the law, and it seems to have something to do with their mindset and worldview.”
Mr. Rapert’s Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs will meet Aug. 10 to hear why a chair called the University of Arkansas Bowen School of Law’s Distinguished Professor of Law and Public Policy was recently renamed, after 20 years, the William J. Clinton Professor of Constitutional Law and Public Service.
The change, first reported in the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, involves professor Joseph DiPippa, a dean emeritus who has held the seat since it was created in 1999.
In an email the Democrat-Gazette obtained through a public records request, law school professor J. Thomas Sullivan raised a series of questions about Mr. DiPippa‘s sudden attachment of Mr. Clinton’s name to the chair.
Mr. DiPippa, a stalwart supporter of Mr. Clinton during his impeachment, did not respond to requests for comment.
Mr. Sullivan confirmed the accuracy of what had been reported but declined to comment further.

Naming a well below average endowed chair at a two-bit Southern state university law school after Bubba appears an appropriate fit.
A law school chair named for the DIRTPOTUS...?
Fitting.
Priceless. Nothing like the board of state law school publicly affirming their ignorance.
When asked, the chairs first recipient asked, does this chair come with an intern and a box of cigars?
Endowed by Epstein and the Emir of Qatar.
He may want someone else to start his car each morning
