"All that being said, a lot of justified resentment is out there among law school graduates. Law school is too expensive, law schools allow their matriculants to accumulate way too much debt, and law schools pump out far too many lawyers considering the number of good jobs actually available to graduates. While I don't have the same concerns about debt as many of my cohorts, I have a few resentments of my own. You see, my law school is a Catholic institution."
"This might have been a plus to me at the time I was choosing a law school, but I've been an atheist for over a decade now. I am truly revolted by some of the things school resources have gone to, like advocating to strip people of their reproductive rights. That is a really hard thing to get over, and I'm not over it, and I will never be over it."
Tommie Give Day is the annual scholarship fundraising day for the University of St. Thomas; an alumnus plans a small donation. The alumnus had a generally good law school experience and believes the education outperformed nearby competitors. Supporting education and boosting a school's employer profile motivate alumni giving despite U.S. News no longer using alumni giving. Many graduates resent law school costs, high debt, and an oversupply of lawyers relative to available good jobs. The alumnus's personal resentment centers on the law school's Catholic identity and the use of resources to advocate stripping reproductive rights, which the alumnus, an atheist, finds revolting.
