The Boston Globe ran an article with the sub-headline, "BU law school will double size of its program for loan forgiveness." Of course, the original loan forgiveness program was pretty tiny. Doubling tiny still results in tiny...
But I don't mean to mock the school's efforts. In fact, I wish to commend it and encourage it to continue providing support in this area. I think it will. In the last year or so the new administration has been incredibly responsive to the expressed concerns of students that certain legal jobs would be financially out of reach for us, but for the help of the school. So the school (and the alumni) has stepped up as a result.
But as the article and Dean O'Rourke herself said, there's still room for improvement in developing a more robust loan forgiveness program. So I look forward to the hopefully not-far-off future day(s) when the Globe will once more be able to write that BUSL has doubled its program's size again.
