This program
will be presented as a roundtable discussion between experienced deans and
faculty who have been at the forefront of increasing and achieving diversity
within the law school faculty. The
speakers will discuss ways to create successful faculty hiring
practices that achieve greater racial and ethnic representation among faculty
at law schools. The discussion will focus on the kinds of initiatives that a
hiring program and faculty support program need to be successful, and the different
kinds of challenges a school can expect to encounter when developing and
implementing these initiatives. The session will provide sufficient opportunity
for attendees to engage the roundtable participants with questions and
comments.
