Compare the pass rates from the minority schools with the pass rates from the regular schools. (It would be even more striking if you could factor out the affirmative action admissions).

For law schools:
In Texas, compare Texas Southern and St. Marys with the other schools in the state. In Louisiana, compare Southern to Loyola and LSU. North Carolina - compare NC Central with UNC or Duke or Wake Forest.

Then, maybe, you’ll understand why bar exams are necessary.

You’re obviously missing the point. The testing and writing procedures and requirements contained in the accreditation process for higher education was supposed to serve as the ultimate measurement of how well (or how poorly) students performed at the end of their education cycle. Lawyers, physicians, PA’s nurse practitioners and most professions like these all have to pass required written and oral exams over materials presented in their course in order to successfully complete them. Accreditation is a standardized process and thus each school “accredited” to provide an education in [pick your field] must present similar curricula. Included in this process are clinical rotations that also must be performed to standard in order to pass.

Why, then, are these people subjected to ANOTHER round of testing by the State(s) - testing that consists of primarily the *same* materials (and again, always for a fee)? And THEN they must pay to be “licensed,” even though they’ve already proven, twice or even three times, they are competent to practice. It’s ridiculous and unnecessary.

My, how ever did we get along without the blessing of government?
