Northwestern Law School made faculty job offers to only three white men in the last three years, passing over intellectual giants in favor of less qualified black females, including one who graduated “near the bottom of her class” and another who plagiarized when writing an exam, according to a blistering lawsuit filed on Tuesday.
Charging that “[f]aculty hiring at American universities is a cesspool of corruption and lawlessness,” the suit was filed by lawyers including Jonathan Mitchell, who was involved in the 2023 Supreme Court case on Harvard University admissions that blocked affirmative action, and signals that similar lawsuits could be in store against colleges across the country.
The lawsuit delves into the details of Northwestern’s recent hiring to paint a picture of affirmative action that is not simply a tie-breaker between equals, but rather the near-total exclusion of highly qualified white males in favor of minorities with weak qualifications, and whose hiring typically ends in disaster.
“For at least the last twelve years, since the installation of then-Dean Daniel Rodriguez, the leadership of Northwestern Law School has propagated and enforced a mandate to hire as many non-white and non-male faculty candidates as possible,” it said.
The lawsuit says it was impossible for even the brightest legal minds to reach a classroom if they were white. Northwestern declined to even interview Eugene Volokh, a “prolific and internationally renowned legal scholar,” for a job, the suit said — adding that Vice Dean Emily Kadens “openly said that Professor Volokh would have been hired at Northwestern had he been anything other than a white man.”
Meanwhile, it hired Destiny Peery, a black woman who graduated from Northwestern Law “near the bottom of her class,” something Northwestern’s faculty was well aware of, and which ordinarily would be an absolute roadblock to being hired as a law professor.
By the time Peery came up for her three-year employment review, where the school decides to get rid of or promote junior faculty, Peery had published almost nothing, but fellow black professor Janice Nadler, who was in charge of the review, misled the committee by falsely claiming old dissertation chapters were actually new work.
After that was exposed, Nadler shifted gears to complain that because of her race, the school had given Peery so many speaking opportunities that she had no time to write. The committee voted to retain Peery, despite being “incensed” by Nadler’s dishonesty, the suit said.
At the five-year mark, when a final decision on tenure is made, Peery had still “failed to produce any scholarship that could warrant a tenured appointment,” and was warned not to seek tenure. Peery then accused “Northwestern of racism for denying her tenure, pretending that she was a victim of race and sex discrimination when racial preferences were the very reason she was hired in the first place,” the suit said.
No other college would put her on its faculty — but Peery found employment at Harvard Law School in a non-teaching position at its “Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race & Justice.”
Similarly, Northwestern hired “another unqualified black woman named Candice Player, who (like Peery) failed to obtain tenure after proving herself incapable of producing scholarship that could justify a tenured appointment. Player also struggled in the classroom, and admitted to colleagues that she did not understand the material she was teaching and couldn’t handle the students’ questions. In one of her classes, Player gave a final exam in which she had plagiarized an exam hypothetical from another source, because Player was too lazy to write her own exam question,” the suit continued.
The plagiarism scandal led to her departure from Northwestern and “Player, like Peery, failed to obtain another academic appointment after leaving Northwestern.” She now works as Vice President of Advocacy, Public Policy and Street Outreach at Project HOME in Pennsylvania.
Then-Dean Rodriguez had “ramrodded Player’s appointment through the faculty by threatening to withhold bonuses from any professor who had the temerity to question the wisdom or legality of the appointment. Player would never even have been considered for a faculty appointment at Northwestern if she had been white or a member of a different race, and Player was hired over white male candidates who were vastly more capable and qualified than she was,” the suit said.
In 2018, Kimberly Yuracko was appointed dean of the law school at Northwestern in a process that was secret and focused on identity politics and the exclusion of men, with the white female Yuracko beating out a black female critical race theorist, who was runner-up, it added.
In the 2019-2020 school year, Yuracko made a deal with a conservative professor that if the faculty greenlit her problematic appointments, she would see to it that a gay professor, Ilan Wurman, was hired, even though he is white. After her candidates were approved, Wurman was blocked, with then-Associate Dean Sarah Lawsky saying “at a faculty meeting that she opposed Wurman’s appointment to the faculty because he is a white man,” the suit said.
In 2022, the school hired Jamelia Morgan, a black woman from the low-ranked UC Irving with only four years of teaching, and gave her a $900,000 budget to start a “Center for Racial and Disability Justice.” The center’s website hasn’t published a journal article in a year and a blog post in six months, and the suit said it has hosted only two events.
In all, in 2023-24 Northwestern Law made six offers of employment, none of which went to white men. The prior year, it made nine offers, only one of which went to a white man (whose scholarship focused on promoting affirmative action).
In 2021-2022, it made six offers, two of which went to white men–but one offer was made to someone who had “zero chance” of accepting because he taught at a much higher-ranked school, perhaps a maneuver to make the statistics look less anti-white. The other worked in tax law, a specialty where there were few minority options, the suit said.
Accomplished white men like Volokh and Ernie Young, a longtime Duke professor and Harvard Law grad, were “rejected in favor of candidates with mediocre and undistinguished records,” the suit said.
The suit was filed on behalf of a group called Faculty, Alumni, and Students Opposed to Racial Preferences, which says it consists of people who have standing to sue because they may have lost out on faculty jobs, represented by lawyers from America First Legal and Stone Hilton in addition to Mitchell’s firm.
It said that for years, administrators have thought they could “flout” laws preventing discrimination based on race, but “the jig is up” after the Supreme Court clamped down on race-based decision-making in a 2023 case on Harvard admissions.
The Northwestern suit was filed in federal court in the Northern District of Illinois against the law school as well as its current dean Hari Osofsky.
Spioler alert.
It’s not just happening at the academic level, s’been the norm for a long time,
“Way on down”….
to add, apply for a job as ‘security’ (or catering staff) at any sporting event, You’ll soon understand what is to become of the ‘whiteman’, Although by that stage..where they expect the crowds to come from I’ll NEVER KNOW,
The Jew Commie wants to control Law so that he can reward Black criminals and punish Whites, especially White Patriots, because he has combined Class War and Race War in his mind
White men been going to the back of the (university) bus since the 1970s.
It was conservatives who made that happen.
Nixon told the NAACP in 1969 when he was sworn in “Watch what we do, not what we say.”
So he totally lied to the mostly white nation that elected him. He said no preference for blacks, and then that’s what he did.
Now it’s world standard all over the west — White guys are last.
I stopped reading at the name Eugene Volokh, something about the name, did an image search and saw that he was a jew the moment the page loaded. What a face on that one, the nerve, pretending he’s White. But then, ninety percent of jews do that. Even Steve Sailer turns out to be yet another jew, after decades of pretending to be of European Christian ancestry, telling the rest of us that he was in awe of the glorious jewish intelligence. He was just another pathetic jewish shill.
Here is Wikipedia:
“Volokh was born in the Soviet Union to a Jewish family residing in Kyiv, Ukraine.[8][9] He emigrated with his family to the United States at the age of seven.”
You see, jews have no problem with ‘affirmative action’ when it’s a useful tool to rid institutions of White men ( men of European Christian ancestry ) but the moment the brown/black/yellow/arab golem begins to exclude jews, then it’s annudah shoah. They were fine with the long jewish march through Christian Civilization and turning once noble institutins into cultural marxist sewers where women got ahead by blowing jewish professors. It was a ‘good gig’ while it lasted.
So now, finding themselves excluded, they fall back on crypsis. They larp as ‘White’ and whine about being excluded because their brown/black/yellow/arab pets use the tools that jews created to attack Christians is used against jews. Oh! The humanity!
Tell Eugene Volokh to do the jew switch-a-roo and start bawling about the ‘holocaust’. Or is it that the place is full of Palistinians who will tell Volokh, ‘vaunted ashkenazi genius legal scholar’ to go f himself?
You see, his pets tossed him back into the chabad sewer so he starts crying for the evil notsee White supremacists to come save him. “Save me, save me! You doity notsee goyim, what are you waiting for? I excaped the Ukrainian gas chamber! It was a miracle! There were notsees everywhere, giving me the gas! Lucky for you, I’m here to give you the blessings of my superior ashkenazi genius IQ.”
The term ‘Affirmative Action’ was first used by JFK in the 1960’s. Kennedy was another Commie scumbag they push on us as some ‘anti-establishment rebel’ similar to this other Commie scumbag Assange they get the morons to revere as some ‘libertarian hero’. Yet they’re both anti-white degenerates. They iced Kennedy not because he was some ‘enemy of the State’ but simply as a mark/sacrifice in an elaborate Masonic ritual–as revealed by Downard in his book ‘King Kill 33’. Remember the movie ‘The Wicker Man’ (1973) where the pagan cult setup their mark to be sacrificed? Well, that’s similar to the role Kennedy played in the assassination. Now you know.
What a f*cking disgrace. More DEI, Didn’t Earn It, smashed right in faces like shit cream pies. Northwestern and any other organization subscribing to such sniveling degradation should be boycotted into abject bankruptcy while the board members making such outrageous decisions get chased through the streets and worked over with tire irons and claw hammers.
It used to be that to find THE most worthless, clueless, and laziest slugs in an organization, one would wander over to the Human Resources office and witness who was propped up behind desks there. In the Jewnited States, black females came to dominate “Human Resources” departments, and the only thing they were good at was figuring out how to protect their own jobs despite their utter incompetence.
Another department has taken the mantle of abject incompetence from HR now, so just visit ANY office of “Diversity Equity and Inclusion” in ANY organization snivelingly stupid enough to have one, and behold, the simian Orcs and deranged gender-confused sodomites you’ll find polluting such offices are absolutely 100% guaranteed to be utterly useless, moronic buffoons, at best, and subversive agents of degradation and destruction at worst, with the funny thing being many of them are actually far too stupid to realize that.
Welcome to Nonwhite Supremacy. Of course they don’t call it that–that would be too obvious & could possibly alert some of these white drones to their impending doom/extinction. So they term it ‘affirmative action’, diversity, DEI, equality, multiculturalism, social justice etc
Given the difficulty that most Negroes have with simple arithmetic and grammar, it is doubtful that many of these affirmative action DEI picks are capable of understanding our system of law, hence the, “second amendment doesn’t exist in my courtroom,” type of nonsense we have recently been hearing about.
The Bell Curve strikes again!
everything what brings down ZIOUSA helps !
for the betterment of the world .
It’s everywhere. The US is having a time of it trying to produce a hyper-sonic missile. After WWII they brought German scientists to the US. Now that brain trust has died off.
No company, school or country ever succeeded when picking from the lower pools.

Anti-white Commie Jews also run Russia–they have a government agency called ‘World Without Nazism’ headed by some hideous Jew named ‘Boris Spiegel’.
nico–interesting post mate
Love the irony..
…..the scummiest profession in the world..the legal profession…. infighting re: merits and credentials.
They can all F*CK OFF.

Put them all in a Musk/Virgin/Bezos rocket and send them to Uranus
Nico “Vlasov”–where did I say Russia was free of de-Nazification?
Extra comment: they only let White women stick around so they will be in the presence of the male apes and have to fraternise with them, as per Kalergi
Bob Smith nailed it so well that I forgot what I was going to say.
But maybe this is of related interest
White?
Man?
I say, neither, just another gay Jew—but mirabile dictu, forced to drink from the well his paysans poisoned.
Factotum: true Aryans have no interest in legal finagling, sophistry masquerading as logic, happy to leave the diseased field to endogamously inbred scribes, Pharisees, hypocrites—woe is them, indeed.
