HOUSTON — Texas Southern University students staged a walkout on Wednesday after the law school dean stepped down.
The students said they got an email in the morning telling them about the changes.
In the letter, the dean announced that he was stepping down for several reasons, including "faculty members trying to undermine the law school by preventing it from being reaccredited."
TSU released this statement after the walkout: "Texas Southern University is aware of concerns held by a group of law students. The administration is engaged in conversation with student leaders about those concerns and has put plans in place to ensure consistent engagement. Texas Southern does not comment on personnel matters."
