When
Golden
Gate
University
School
of
Law
decided
to
close
its
doors
and
funnel
its
remaining
students
to
nearby
accredited
institutions,
a
small
group
fought
hard
to
pry
the
Gate
back
open.
A
judge
recently
decided
whether
an
injunction
would
be
successful.
Reuters
has
coverage:
Golden
Gate
University’s
shuttered
law
school
will
remain
closed
after
a
judge
on
Monday
denied
an
injunction
to
reopen
it,
as
a
group
of
former
students
and
alumni
had
asked.It’s
“unlikely”
that
the
plaintiffs
will
be
able
to
secure
a
court
order
to
reopen
the
123-year-old
San
Francisco
school
following
California
Superior
Court
Judge
Richard
Ulmer’s
latest
ruling,
said
Golden
Gate
Law
alum
Ryan
Griffith,
who
is
representing
the
plaintiffs.
It
has
been
a
honorable
fight,
but
the
judge
is
right
to
frame
the
practicalities
of
rehiring
faculty
and
administrators
needed
to
run
the
school
as
“disruptive.”
Even
if
it
did
reopen,
would
you
want
to
go
to
Golden
Gate?
Even
if
you
managed
to
pass
the
bar,
would
employers
respect
the
name
on
the
diploma?
This
isn’t
the
closure
the
plaintiffs
wanted,
but
at
least
there’s
some
closure.
The
door
remains
open
for
remedies
by
other
means;
stay
turned
for
the
hearing
on
Oct.
22nd
to
see
if
and
how
the
case
will
proceed.
