    Hiring, Retaining and Promoting Law Professors of Color

    This panel is designed to further the discussion on how best to diversify the legal academy and how to achieve a higher rate of retention and promotion for law professors of color. In past years, statistics have shown that the rate of hiring, retention and promotion is substantially low for professors of color compared to others. In addition, published narratives have documented the added difficulties faced by law professors of color compared to other groups. The panel brings together scholars who have scrutinized these issues at previous times. The purpose of the panel is to learn from the panelists' considerable experience with these issues as well as from the audience's suggestions so as to formulate concrete solutions to these problems.
