Association of American Law Schools Boycott threatened over hotel owners support for Cal. Prop. 8

Leigh Jones reports on the National Law Journal:

Organizations representing thousands of legal educators say they will boycott the Association of American Law Schools annual meeting in January if it is held at a San Diego hotel owned by a foe of same-sex marriage . . .

The groups object to holding the annual meeting at the San Diego Manchester Grand Hyatt, a hotel whose owner, Douglas Manchester, has donated $125,000 to an initiative to outlaw same-sex marriage in California . . .
