Diversity & Inclusion

Excellence Through Diversity and Inclusion

The University of Idaho College of Law welcomes law students, staff and faculty from all cultures, races, ethnicities, genders, physical abilities, lifestyles, opinions, nationalities, philosophies, sexual orientations, religious backgrounds, ages, life experiences and identities, and strives to abolish educational inequity. We believe that increasing the diversity of our organization is pivotal in order for us to benefit from the talent and energy of everyone.
