AALS Committee on Recruitment and Retention of Minority Law Teachers and Students

Go Back

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.
