2011 Villanova Law got in big trouble and censured for falsifying their data:
The law school at Villanova University has been censured for submitting falsified admissions data for several years to the American Bar Association, allegedly at the behest of former administrators.
The action comes months after Villanova first disclosed publicly that staff members inflated the school’s median grade-point averages and scores on the Law School Admissions Test. Both data sets often factor into law school rankings.
“I think this group of individuals, they were very careful to keep it secret, not to draw any sort of red flags,” law school Dean John Gotanda said Tuesday.
Villanova’s average LSAT scores were padded by two to three points between 2005 and 2009, Gotanda said. The median GPA was raised by up to 0.16 points.
