Michael Garrison, William Busick, J.D., was Dean of CSUF's School of Business immediately before my arrival in 1981. By all accounts he was one of our better deans. Hope I've spelled his name correctly. H For a total of nearly 20 years, two J.D.s--Paul Lange and Jim Highsmith-- have served as Chair of my department (Finance and Business Law). Now Jim is Chair of the state-wide CSU Academic Senate, spending most of his time at Long Beach. You can generate quite a list of J.D.s who have served or are serving as administrators--chairs, deans, even as college president. Check out Bentley College (president), Indiana University (associate dean), George Mason (associate dean), Wharton School (department chairs). The fact that many J.D.s have served may be as convincing as the theoretical arguments that they are qualified. Yours, JDR
