The law school's Faculty and Staff Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee is focused
on developing initiatives in the law school to foster and maintain a diverse, equitable,
and inclusive learning community.
Student Diversity and Inclusion Task Force
Our Student Diversity and Inclusion Task Force, which is compromised of representatives
from the Student Bar Association and law school affinity groups, partners with the
