Annals of garbage "reporting" about law schools

No, it's not from the trashy online tabloid Above the Law (their garbage reporting wouldn't be news to anyone), but rather the right-wing Washington Free Beacon and its reporter Aaron Sibarium.  Mr. Sibarium has become well-known for his selective interest in free expression issues on campus, and especially at law schools.   But his latest is pure fiction and innuendo:  he implies that Gillian Lester will step down as Dean of Columbia Law School at the end of this academic year (after nine years as Dean, an impressively long tenure!) because of recent "antisemitism" controversies, and then he writes, "Though the law school has not announced Lester’s replacement, an alum with ties to the administration said that David Schizer, who served as dean from 2004 to 2014, is the leading candidate."  Maybe this is an alum of Columbia College in Chicago, rather than Columbia University in NYC, since this is also fiction.

What an embarrassment for a journalist who recently benefitted from a puff piece in Politico.
