message: AJMLS was founded in 1933 in Atlanta. In late 2011, AJMLS opened a sister school Savannah Law School in Savannah, Georgia.
In 2017, the school briefly came into the national spotlight when a student was exposed as a white nationalist organizer who sent a lynching threat to a Black activist in Atlanta.  Later that year, the school's accreditor the American Bar Association placed the school on probation; the school has since been removed from probation and is fully accredited.
In March 2018, press reports stated that the Savannah Law School would shut down at the end of the Spring 2018 semester. A class action suit on behalf of Savannah Law School students claims that the Savannah school is being closed to financially benefit its parent school, AJMLS.
: Looks good to me, any objections to putting it in? My only suggestion would be to just say 'spotlight', not 'national spotlight', since both sources are local. delldot ∇. 00:46, 2 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for going ahead, looks good. I think putting the probation ref after the semicolon was a good call. If we can find a better source than the school's own website for the probation info, even better. delldot ∇. 00:52, 4 April 2018 (UTC)
thread_title: History (version 2)

message: I wanted to bring up this edit which removed sourced info that we had discussed and agreed to add (above). Is there an issue with the sentence or the sources that could be dealt with another way? Thanks! delldot ∇. 19:07, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, thanks for taking the time to discuss, no worries on the timing, I've barely been around. So if I'm reading this right, your concern is that the claim might not be true and it's better to be conservative since it's a potentially harmful assertion? So you're looking for more verification? What do you mean by singular group? There are 2 sources for that sentence, we discussed them above and agreed they were meh but acceptable. Would adding more information help, e.g. if we're able to find the answer to your question about the police report? Would adding other info to the history section help with the issue of prominence that you mentioned? Anyway thanks again, I'm sure we can figure something out that we're all happy with. delldot ∇. 03:33, 31 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, the content you removed had two sources. One is Atlanta Progressive News, a news website which has several authors and a listed editor. The second source is GeorgiaPol, another curated Georgia political news website. The author of the second piece is a former Atlanta Journal-Constitution writer who has also contributed to The Guardian. There does not appear to be any controversy regarding the facts about the AJMLS student. If there is controversy, please cite a source. Considering that AJMLS is a small school, a story such as this is certainly noteworthy - though I'd agree at this point it only deserves a couple of lines. AOM831 (talk) 02:43, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

text: Hi again! You're right, I cannot find anything that contradicts the allegations. I think it just bothered me that with the ton of information on the blog posts cited, there was no legal action taken by anyone involved (which I'm guessing is why nothing has been done). I bet the school can't comment even if they wanted to so we aren't likely to see anything else. How long do you think this should this be displayed under the school's history? Presumably, this guy will move on and not have ties to the school. Sorry I was late to the game on this, I appreciate the chat! Omgallusernamesaretaken (talk) 18:41, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, yeah that makes sense. Good question on how long to keep it, I think it would depend how it gets covered in media if at all.  I would think it would be worth revisiting at least to update after he graduates. Let's discuss then! delldot ∇. 23:44, 8 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hey! Long time. Curiosity got me and I went down the rabbit hole to see what resolution (if any) transpired here. Does not appear this person became a barred attorney in Georgia per the GA Bar Directory https://www.gabar.org/membersearchresults.cfm Thoughts on removal of this mention? I do not see any further action after we last chat. Also note, I'm going to marry the first and last paragraph of the section so the same topic can begin/end in the same paragraph. Thanks again, hope all is well. Omgallusernamesaretaken (talk) 13:32, 27 October 2021 (UTC)
