Resolution to the Resolution

The referendum is in. You can find the results to the right of the screen.

The votes indicate that location was not the deciding factor in students attending UB, but students would have preferred a city location to an Amherst one, and would have much preferred a BNMC location over other city locations. So according to students, they would have been roughly equally likely to attend UB regardless of location, but surmise that they would have had more benefit and enjoyment from their law school experience at a Downtown location.

Law school need not be a cold, institutional experience. It can and should be a vibrant and independent experience providing both academic and practical knowledge, and can and should interrelate with the larger legal community which would, in theory, benefit the school and community alike. The response from the student body was a resounding approval of these ideals.
