Because police officers are almost always represented and indemnified at public cost, can we take this to mean that DOJ intends to direct Skadden & Co largely to take on the representation of those officers whose alleged conduct falls into the criminal/bad faith/malice exceptions to indemnity? 😑

Over 280 alumni of University of Michigan Law School (with signatories still incoming), in class years ranging from the 1970s to the 2020s, from all over the US and all corners of the legal profession, stand up for the values and legacy of diversity, equity, and inclusion at Michigan. Our letter:
![All of us are stunned that the decision to terminate all diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives at Michigan may now put us at odds with the very institution that empowered us to fight injustice and taught us respect for the rule of law.
As alumni and attorneys, we expect the Law School to recognize that the executive orders and Dear Colleague Letter that President Ono cited in his decision are baseless and morally abhorrent. In particular, the Dear Colleague Letter incorrectly indicates that the Supreme Court held in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College (“SFFA”) that schools cannot consider race in any aspect of education. This is patently false. Chief Justice John Roberts was explicit in limiting the decision to admissions, noting that it does not “prohibit[] universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or her life.”
After the decision was issued, President Ono acknowledged SFFA’s limitations, issuing a statement that SFFA “significantly narrow[s] how race can be considered in admissions policies.” In that same statement, President Ono reaffirmed the University’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Now, less than two years later, and despite the fact that the University submitted an amicus brief in SFFA supporting the consideration of race in admissions, President Ono has reversed course with apparent ease.
Rather than fight back against attempts to bully and extract compliance, the University has preemptively capitulated. This preemptive capitulation is all the more shameful given Michigan’s public education commitment, vast resources, and history of successfully defending the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
The University of Michigan is first and foremost a public education institution, whose mission should include a commitment to serve the public.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6skbaxc5yfahqvcn3wd5y42r/bafkreihxolfgidusivolbpxu5scqpje4iige3pen3nrxigsqwfyt7kpphe@jpeg)

Judge Reyes says banning transgender persons from the military (particularly these plaintiffs, whose records show honorable service) should merit at least as much study and rationale as Trump’s ban on federal procurement of paper straws.

Just want to make sure we are clear-eyed from the beginning that this project is going to require the cooperation of thousands of attorneys, management & sales execs, IT people, accountants, and others who will cast their roles as neutral. But the machine won’t run without the gears.
