The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law believes that diversity, inclusion, equity, justice, and belonging are essential to the excellence of our community, culture, and curriculum. We recognize that the pursuit of this excellence requires thoughtful, deliberate, and sustained action and that this effort is critical to our educational mission.

 

We welcome diversity in all its dimensions, including, but not limited to race, gender, ethnicity, religion, ideology, sexual orientation, physical and learning abilities, and socio-economic status. We seek to reflect these multiple perspectives, backgrounds, and interests in all facets of our community. We recognize that faculty, staff, and students who are exposed to and embrace diversity are better prepared to thrive in a pluralistic world and successfully navigate law school and the legal profession.

 

We strive to be an inclusive community in which everyone feels safe, respected, and valued. In building a community that values both similarities and differences among its constituents, we seek to embody in our actions and relationships the principles of equity and justice, as well as values of honesty, respect, compassion, responsibility, and fairness.

 

We believe that exposure to multiple, and often competing, points of view best equip students to explore, understand, and apply complex concepts, laying the foundation for a rigorous legal education. By informing students of the significant impact law has had and will continue to have on our diverse society and its members, we weave diversity into the fabric of our curriculum. We also equip our students with the interpersonal and critical thinking skills that are essential for success in a complex and multicultural world.
