More
diversity
crackdown
news.
Intel,
known
mostly
for
their
chip
production,
awarded
North
Carolina
Central
University
law
school
a
$5M
grant
in
2021
meant
to
foster
diversity
in
the
legal
landscape.
There
was
probably
hope
that
Intel
would
renew
the
grant
after
it
ran
its
course.
That
hope
all
but
vanished
not
long
after
the
U.S.
happened
to
take
a
a
10%
stake
in
the
company.
Bloomberg
Law
has
coverage:
NCCU
said
in
a
statement
to
Bloomberg
Law
that
it
has
received
from
Intel
the
“final
round
of
funding”
needed
to
run
the
[Technology
Law
and
Policy
Center]…“While
the
formal
partnership
will
not
be
extended,
the
Center
will
continue
to
foster
innovation,
drive
critical
conversations,
and
prepare
students
to
thrive
in
the
rapidly
evolving
tech
landscape,
as
the
university
actively
pursues
new
funding
opportunities
to
sustain
and
expand
its
impact,”
the
school
said.
The
silver
lining
is
that
the
end
of
the
Intel
funding
isn’t
the
end
of
the
program.
It
is
vital
that
law
schools
adopt
to
the
technological
changes
that
will
direct
their
career,
be
it
by
incorporating
lessons
on
how
to
practice
using
help
from
LLMs
or
knowing
how
to
make
the
most
of
if
and
when
the
AI
bubble
pops.
Best
of
luck
to
the
TLPC!
