The University of Baltimore School of Law is committed to fostering an environment
where people of different backgrounds feel welcomed, included, valued and respected.
Diversity is a core value at Baltimore Law, where our community is enriched by the
varying cultures, talents, skills and perspectives each of us contributes. We know
that a diverse workforce and educational environment are directly related to our success
as an institution, and they are essential in preparing University of Baltimore law
students to live and work in the justice system and in a global community.
We promote free speech and open dialogue and we prohibit discrimination, harassment
and retaliation in any form. We seek to understand and counteract unconscious bias
in ourselves and in our community. Our students, faculty and staff reflect different
races, ethnicities, religions, socioeconomic backgrounds, gender and sexual identities,
abilities and political perspectives, among other identities. We invite students to
participate in extra and co-curricular activities to broaden the Baltimore Law experience
outside the classroom.
Our vision for diversity and inclusion is to celebrate all members of our community and to broaden our collective understanding by uplifting diverse identities, cultures, experiences and perspectives. We recognize that this requires a willingness to have difficult conversations, to recognize and call out prejudice, to hear and respect different points of view, and to approach this endeavor with civility and grace.
