Wheaton alum with strong credentials. He could come in handy for other legal matters the school is currently facing.

This seems to be a strong hire. Probably would have liked to seen some administrative duties in academia, but he checks all the other boxes. I don't know the set up of the law school and the university, but the law school seems to have its act together.

And I believe their professors have tenure as well, from what I understand, unlike other schools at the university.
