Most professors point to their own colleagues as more likely contenders. Attracting external candidates may prove to be more difficult, they said, particularly in light of increased national competition from other universities that are also conducting law school dean searches—including New York University, University of California at Berkeley, University of Michigan, and Georgetown University...

Stripes turn up when the process happens on a hillside. No aliens necessary--and knowing how these remarkable shapes...
