Human Rights Policy

It is the policy of New York Law School not to discriminate in its educational programs, admission policies, financial aid programs, employment practices, and other school-sponsored activities because of race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, immigration/citizenship status, religion/creed, sex, pregnancy/lactation accommodation, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity/expression, national origin, age, disability, HIV/AIDS diagnosis, predisposing genetic characteristics, marital, partnership, or parental status, veteran or military status, domestic violence victim, stalking, or sex victim statuses, caregiver status, height and weight, sexual and reproductive health decisions, credit history, arrest or conviction record, or any other characteristic protected by local, state, and/or federal law (“Protected Characteristic”). The placement facilities of the School are available only to employers whose practices are consistent with this policy. (In the wake of the 2006 U.S. Supreme Court decision affirming the Solomon Amendment, the faculty of New York Law School voted on March 27, 2006 to suspend its ban on military recruitment on campus.) Inquiries regarding compliance with Title IX of the 1972 Education Amendments, relative to nondiscrimination on the basis of sex, or any other aspect of the School’s equal opportunity policy, may be directed to the Associate Dean and Vice President for Enrollment Management, Student Financial Services, and Institutional Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and to the Title IX Coordinator, or to the Director of the Office for Civil Rights, Department of Education, Washington, D.C.
