Dickinson College may absorb Dickinson School of Law

HARRISBURG Pennsylvania State University and Dickinson College said yesterday that they have begun negotiating a possible transfer of affiliation for Dickinson School of Law from the university to the college.

Despite having the same name and a location beside each other in Carlisle, Dickinson College and Dickinson School of Law have been separate entities for at least 90 years. The 600-student law school began the process of affiliation with Penn State in 1997 and became fully affiliated three years later.

Any deal would require the approval of the law school's governing board, which retained control over the name and location of the law school after the merger with Penn State.
