teaching loads, that it, the
number of course hours per
quarter and the number of
subject matter areas taught. In
order that the faculty may ef
fectively discharge its “schol
arly responsibilities”, the
AALS limits the number of
teaching hours and subject
matter areas of each professor.
“Law professors, regard-
lets of their personal quali
ties, cannot function effec
tively either as pedagogues
or as seeker for new under
standing if too heavily bur
dened by instructional as
signments.” — Articles of
Association, AALS
Most professors ire right at
the numerical limits of the
“teaching hours” or “subject
matter area” requirements,
and at least one of the profes
sors is currently in violation
of the AALS requirements.
These burdens are an injustice
to faculty and student alike.
The burden on the professor
is obvious and Is especially
heavy at exam time when he
is required to grade as many
as 150 papers of great length.
The student suffers bom the
lack of adequate participation
and challenge through dia
logue with the professor or
other students. There is also a
significant lack of electives be
ing offered, which when con
sidered with the lack of facul
ty, explains In part, why the
classes are so large. This high
student-teacher ratio, the
over-burdening with teaching
loads and the lack of a variety
and frequency in electives are
discrediting conditions this
law school has not suffered
since the establishment of the
Walter F. George Foundation
in Oct., 1947. In the first
school year after the Founda
tion was established the facul
ty included a dean, a qualified
librarian, seven full-time facul
ty members. Prof. Nadler who
taught one course per quarter,
and four part-time lecturers.
The larger sise of that faculty
is particularly significant when
you consider the enrollment
at that time was only 142 stu
dents as compared with 220
students at present. In short,
there is a need and justifi
cation for adding more full
time faculty members in addi
tion to replacing the current
vacancies and appoint! a dean
and assistant dean. It is here
by suggested that the present
full-tline faculty should be in
creased to ten members, ex
cluding the dean and librarian,
thus alleviating most of the
deplorable conditions. Though
it would still not bring the
student-teacher ratio anywhere
near the AALS average of
16.5 to 1, the resulting ratio
would, he 22 to 1 which is ex
actly the median figure on
student-teacher ratios for all
Waiter F. George
of Lew would rank
AALS mem
time faculty to its adequate
size, the school can then cor
rect the deficiencies in the
school's physical plant The
most egregious deficiencies be
ing a lack of library, office
and classroom space. Specifi
cally, there are only five class
rooms for 220 students and
the library has seating aceotu
rn adation* for only 52% of
the student body. Though
there is no specific AALS re
quirement as to the required
number of classrooms. Exec
utive Committee Regulation
8.2(b) requires seating accom
modations in the library for
65% of the student body.
Closely related to these
problems of faculty and facili
ties is the financial structure
of the law school. The only
sources of law school income
are from tuition, the Walter F.
George Foundation and the
Macon Chair of Law. At pres
ent, the tuition and endow
ment Income from these
sources is inadequate to meet
the necessary expenditures of
the law school. It is to these
problems that the law school
alumni, friends, and trustees
of the Walter F. George Foun
dation must direct their im
mediate attention.
Due to a lack of space, this
In-Depth Study will be contin
ued In the next issue of the
Clutter. Paricular attention
will be given to the law
school’s facilities and financial
structure, which have received
only cursory attention in this
issue.
