Is it Unethical to be a Law Professor at a Very Low Ranked Law School?

My friends and I have recently been discussing whether it is ethical to be a law professor at a very low ranked law school. This quandary comes from two sources. First, these schools generally have absolutely atrocious employment prospects. As such, law professors are directly taking part in a system that saddles students with large quantities of debt while giving most of them no method of utilizing their law degree to pay off that debt upon graduation. Second, these schools have incredibly low admission standards in terms of grades and test scores, which are used as surrogates for assessing student ability. Thus, law professors are also directly involved with the bestowal of law degrees and the churning out of attorneys who likely shouldn't be practicing law and will not provide good or even adequate service to their clients. I believe these concerns apply to fields outside of law as well, but law school seems like a very good example through which to explore them. Would love to hear others' thoughts about this.

I think your ethical responsibility as such a Law professor is to actually make the best of the students you're given. Focus on maximally improving your teaching, and through that, make sure those future attorneys sitting in your class *do* achieve the minimum level required. There's always plenty of opportunity to improve your own quality of teaching.

Join the educational boards on your school, push for policies that improve the quality of education at the school, and you'll increase both the ranking and quality of alumni of your school. There's lots of ways professors can influence the quality of the school. Act in a way that you're not part of the problem, but actually make an effort towards solving those problems.
