NEWTON, MA — Twenty-two members of the Boston College Law School faculty broke with the Dean of Boston College Law School, John Garvey, today over the recent invitation of Attorney General Michael Mukasey to speak at the school’s 2008 Commencement Ceremony.

Eagleionline has confirmed that Attorney General Michael Mukasey will not receive the Founder’s Medal at Boston College Law School’s 2008 Commencement Ceremony. 

NEWTON, MA — An open letter to Dean John Garvey from James C. Sturdevant ‘72 is the most recent sign that pressure is mounting on the Garvey administration to respond publicly to an increasingly vocal number of students, faculty and alumni who oppose the invitation of Attorney General Michael Mukasey to speak at the Boston College Law School 2008 commencement ceremony.

Eagleionline respectfully suggests that the administration take a proactive approach to students’ concerns by hosting a discussion on the role of the Attorney General in the torture debate.

Boston College Law School has announced that U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey has accepted the School’s invitation to speak at the 2008 Law School Commencement, to be held on May 23.
