Point, counter-point: PLPs

Staff Contributors, The Stool

Staff members at the Stool recently sat down with PLP coordinators and policy-makers to discuss PLPs and their role in student’s lives.

Faculty: PLPs give students the opportunity to experience many different facets of law while addressing the social and diversity-conscious underpinnings William Mitchell strives to explore and maintain.

The Stool: I can’t recall actually learning a single thing in any of the PLPs I’ve attended. Wait, that’s not true. I learned that the cafeteria Pizza tastes like ass. I’m a much more socially conscious person because of it.

Faculty: We know PLPs can be a sore subject – especially for our part-time students, but please refrain from cursing.

The Stool: You’re right. We shouldn’t swear. Tell you what, we’ll stop swearing when you start lowering tuition.

Faculty: We thought this was going to be a discussion about PLPs and their role in student’s lives. If you’re interested in setting up another time to discuss tuition, we would be more than happy to talk with you about it.

The Stool: How about this?

The interview then quickly degenerated after a Stool staffer began punching faculty members in the crotch. That staff member has been terminated. The Stool would like to take this opportunity to apologize to the Dean of Students who seemed to take the brunt of the abuse.
