When I was teaching at the Univ of Colorado, numerous business professors
justified the tiny business law program (and further reductions in that
program) with various arguments, including these:

1) Business law is not central to the mission of the CU business school.
2) If students want to learn business law, they should go to law school.
3) If managers need legal information, they can simply call a lawyer.

When a business faculty has decided that business law is not important to
their curriculum, it isn't hard to manufacture arguments that apparently
support that conclusion, regardless of whether those arguments have a
factual basis in actual business practice and experience.
