Forbes Will Rank Law Schools Based on Job Results, Northwestern Reveals

Debra Cassens Weiss recently published in the ABA Journal an article about decision by Northwestern University's law school to deny a non-profit called Law School Transparency more detailed salary and job information.  The information would have been used by the non-profit to assess the institution's "return on investment."  Northwestern apparently agreed that this is a worthwhile measurement, but did not feel comfortable providing "sensitive information" to such a young organization; it expressed interest in cooperating instead with a more established and respected group like Forbes magazine.
