NATION : Protest Flares at Harvard Law
More than 60 Harvard Law School students protesting the lack of women and minorities on the faculty occupied a school building overnight and said they would present a list of demands to the dean.
“Some spirits were sagging a little last night but they’re back up,” Michele Anglade, 24, an organizer and first-year student from New York, said this morning. “We’re tired but committed.”
The group was to present its demands to Dean Robert Clark. The list included a call for more women and minorities on the faculty, a revision of the admissions policy to create more diversity among students, and new course offerings that address the effects women and minorities have had on law in America.
