The directors will be Michigan’s Prof. Vikramaditya Khanna and JGLS Professors Vivek Pande, Charles Maddox and Ajay Goyal.

xmo, You convenienttly left out the fact that tuition would be less costly since that wasn't a convenient nor salient point to your anti union rhetoric! I'll bet we could outsource the entire administration and management of most of our corporations and institutions and save a fortune! Heck, I'll bet they could outsource and bankrupt our corporations and institutions for a LOT less than the upper class elites charge!! And China, the victors of Ronnies cold war would happy to assist! Heck, they might even bring a real system of JUSTICE to America! To replace our current system to the highest bidder!

Maybe the agreement would allow UM law students access to Jindal's career center for the law jobs already being outsourced to India. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/05/business/global/05legal.html

Maybe we can out source the Law School to India? At least the cost of professor's would be cheaper.
