The independent electronic student newspaper, Eagleionline, has this excerpt from the flyers:
We’re glad you’re here… to celebrate three years of accomplishments by a great group of students, the Class of 2008!
But, we —a large and diverse group of concerned faculty, students and alumni—feel that it is important that you, our students’ families and friends, recognize that our Law School, by inviting Attorney-General Michael Mukasey, does not condone the policies and interpretations of law on torture and extreme interrogation methods that Mr. Mukasey has repeatedly presented for the current Administration.
The law school's commencement guide is available here.
