Last week, the Wall Street Journal editorialized on the ABA's DEI mandates on law schools.
The ABA suspended Standard 206 of its Rules of Procedure for Approval of Law Schools, which required schools to demonstrate a "commitment to diversity and inclusion." But that was only half the problem. The ABA left untouched Standard 303(c), which requires law schools to "provide education to law students on bias, cross cultural competency and racism" twice before a student graduates.
Daniel Thies, chair of the Council of the ABA's Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar, wrote a letter to the Editor. He suggested that there is another way for law schools to comply with Standard 303(c).
