Well now that’s some dean commitment…. From a local news story:
A deal is a deal. That’s the way Elon University School of Law Dean Zak Kramer saw it after making a pact with the class of 2025. Earlier in the semester, he promised that if the law students as a class achieved an overall 85% first-time bar passage rate, he’d get a tattoo.

Kramer got an Elon Law-themed “1 & Done” tattoo on his left forearm on Sept. 4 as a tribute to the students’ focus on passing the bar on the first attempt.
