Law and Equity Committee

MISSION STATEMENT:

The name of this committee shall be the Law & Equity Committee of the Student Bar Association. The Law & Equity Committee of the Student Bar Association shall work to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion by working with administrators, faculty, student organizations, and the admissions committee to ensure an open and inclusive nature in our law school's community. The Law & Equity Committee will sponsor events that foster diversity and inclusion—such as, but not limited to, the Annual Diversity Banquet—throughout the academic year. It shall maintain an open-door policy for every student organization and every member of the student body at Penn State Law.  The Law & Equity Committee shall review student organization and individual student proposals for improving diversity, equity, and inclusion in an objective, nondiscriminatory manner. It shall encourage student organizations and individual students to have respect for ethnic and cultural diversity within the student population and faculty staff communities.
