Non-Discrimination Policy

We conduct all programs and permit job postings in accordance with the following Non-Discrimination Policy:

The University of Missouri-Columbia School of Law reaffirms its policy against discriminatory employment practices and requires all employers using our career services to observe it. The School of Law is committed to the principle of equal employment opportunity for all its students and graduates, commensurate with their abilities and not limited by invidious discrimination, including discrimination based on race, sex, age, religion, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, status as a Vietnam Era veteran, or any other basis forbidden by applicable law or university regulation. Based on current federal law and regulations, (the Solomon Amendment) the School is compelled to allow the military to recruit our students on campus or risk the loss of federal funding.

We recognize that some attorneys may ask novel or unusual interview questions to gauge a candidate’s analytical ability, professional demeanor, legal or academic experience, or other business-related skills. However, we remind all those who interview our students or alumni that such questioning should not be used to elicit information regarding the applicant’s race, gender, marital/parental status, age, religion, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, or veteran status. Students who believe that an employer working through the Office of Career and Professional Development has discriminated against them on any of the aforementioned bases should bring their concerns to the attention of Dean Tamra Wilson Setser or Andrea Follett, Coordinator for Professional Development.

The School of Law is a member of the National Association of Legal Career Professionals (NALP) and adheres to its principles and standards. NALP’s standards for legal employers are available at www.nalp.org. General guidelines for interviewing are also available at the Missouri Department of Labor and Industrial Relations’ website, www.dolir.mo.gov.

We encourage legal employers to share this policy with colleagues who may come into contact with students or alumni during the interview process. Please feel free to contact the Office of Professional Development at (573) 882-7386 should you have any questions.
