Law Deans, Pre and PostCOVID-19 – Inside Higher Ed

The Association of American Law Schools wanted to know how law deans are different now, after the COVID-19 pandemic. So they organized a survey by NORC at the University of Chicago.

The percentage of deans who reported spending some or a lot of their time on crisis management increased from 11percent in 2019 to 88percent in 2020. Deans reporting some or a lot of time dedicated to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts increased from 16percent in 2019 to 79percent in 2020. Student life and student conduct issues were also major foci of law school deans, with 8percent reporting they spent some or a lot of time on the issue in 2019 compared to 44percent in 2020. But so were budget and financial management: 49percent before COVID-19 and 74percent after.
