WMU?and Cooley Law School  will end their partnership

Western Michigan University  Trustees voted Nov. 5 to end  its partnership with Cooley Law School, an association dating from 2013.

The partnership will  wind down over three years; and the law school will no longer have WMU in its name.

WMU President Edward Montgomery noted the university is focusing on its core mission and charting a course for an even stronger post-pandemic WMU.

At its peak, Cooley Law School had nearly 4,000 students,  with campuses in Lansing, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, Auburn Hills and Riverview, Fla. 

By  next year it will only have campuses in Lansing and Florida.
