@Schmendrick: "Because you never know which one it was...maybe the one who's resume is sitting on your desk."
1. How could an employer not know they're looking at a resume from a "substandard student" at Villanova Law School? Wouldn't their law school grades and summer employment reflect this?
2. Nobody reported -- in any publication to date -- that Villanova Law students systematically alter their resumes to dupe employers.
3. Did you read this article? It stated that VLS admins altered admitted law students LSAT and college GPA data and reported it to U.S. News and the ABA in the past.
You, my Yiddish-named friend, are frickin' out of your mind. Or you are an internet troll. Whatever. No matter. I wish you a good mental health day!

Data integrity is important to you? Then do the work and fix the prior rankings. What a lazy publication.

Schmendrik: "No one should hire any of their graduates."
Really? Your proposal to punish the students, even more, who had no idea this was going on, is an affront to common-sense - unless you think it is a good idea to punish the victim for the crime of the lawbreaker. Moreover, your statement is also an affront to the common law doctrine of respondeat superior - let the master answer for his servant. In this situation, there is no way the students are the master. So, if anything, they are the servant and you want to punish the servant for the sins of his master. Bah. Clearly, you were denied admission and are still bitter.

No one should hire any of their graduates. If their students were totally boycotted by employers, maybe that would get the point across that what they did was a little bit more than mildly problematic.
How would you like to be the one who ended up hiring the substandard student who didn't belong in law school? You wouldn't. So don't. Because you never know which one it was...maybe the one who's resume is sitting on your desk.
