...decided to award its graduates the Doctor of Laws (JD) degree instead of the old Bachelor of Laws (LLB). The change made no difference except in the names themselves, but the school said that so many other schools were giving JD's that students with mere LLB's might be victims of discrimination because they held supposedly inferior degrees.

But the persons who ultimately receive that money--students, faculty, administrators, and employees--can and should make such contributions. The university should create a mechanism that would facilitate such giving. This Foundation should created, however, unless it is clear that student and faculty interest in it is strong. We hope that the discussion of this proposal among members of the university will serve as a measure...
