The new dean of the University of Chicago Law School, Michael H. Schill, plans to launch a fundraising campaign to raise between $150 million and $200 million, and he hopes to expand the faculty.

In an interview, Schill also said:

Neither of his parents went to college.
He is a great believer in scholarships made possible by alumni donations.
The “disconnection... between what lawyers do and what is done in law schools has grown over time.”
He is a “TiVo fanatic” and is in mourning over the cancellation of his favorite TV show, “24.”
