Mitchell Hamline School of Law has pledged to work toward becoming an antiracist law school, with the passage of a resolution in February 2021 by faculty.
“This vote by our faculty is crucial to getting our law school on the path towards active antiracist work instead of the more passive default of simply trying to avoid doing something racist,” said Mitchell Hamline President and Dean Anthony Niedwiecki.
“Working to center our school around antiracism is the logical next step beyond our ongoing efforts to make the school more diverse, equitable, and inclusive.”
