Statement on Diversity

Diversity Team

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.
