The denial of tenure to a black law professor and the resulting protests by students was met with an anonymous letter that said minority students lowered the standard of SMU's law school. A group known as Concerned Law Students for Merit and Academic Excellence urged minority students to transfer if they could not compete with their Anglo counterparts. Administrators have not commented on the reasons for tenure denial. But the issue has gone well beyond that. Unfounded charges based on racial and ethnic differences are hotbeds of controversy.
