Law Schools and Diversity Standards

An article in the Insidehighered.com (6/19/2006)
addresses the ABA's recently revised diversity standards
which will go before its House of Delegates in August for
approval. Under discussion is updated Standard 211,
which has been changed from "Equal Opportunity Effort" to
“Equal Opportunity and Diversity.”

The Insidehighered.com article includes the updated
text of Standard 211 and other relevant standards,
and discusses the lively five-hour briefing on the topic
held by the United States Commission on Civil Rights.
