Dean: The Law School Hiring Market Undervalues Women, Minorities

Diverse Education Op-Ed: The Law School Hiring Market Undervalues Women, Minorities, by Steven Dean (Boston University; Google Scholar):

The latest attack on efforts to support diversity comes in the form of a lawsuit targeting Northwestern University’s law school. The suit accuses the school’s faculty and administration of snubbing high-profile white male applicants. The 30-page complaint gets so many facts wrong that it is difficult to know where to begin.

Since the plaintiffs decided to make the “high-demand, low-supply field” of tax law an example, I’d like to acknowledge one undeniably true statement: there are very few minority tax law professors. That is particularly obvious at the sort of elite institutions the suit emphasizes. Neither Stanford nor the University of Chicago have any. Northwestern has one among its nine residential tax faculty.

Inevitably, the document pairs its lonely truth with an almost laughable falsehood, stating that tax law scholars who are female are “difficult or impossible to find.” There are, in fact, lots of women tax law professors. The complaint fails to mention that one of the targets of the lawsuit is a woman tax law professor. ...

The Tax Law Center posted a recording of an informational session about the Tax Law and Policy Fellow role to our site here: https://www.law.nyu.edu/centers/tax-law-center/careers/fellows.

You will be an employee of New York University, with access to an excellent, comprehensive benefits package including generous paid time off and retirement contributions. Alongside NYU benefits, the Tax Law Center offers flexible policies and support for early career lawyers, including access to professional development, time off support for desired relevant Volunteer Income Tax Assistance or Low Income Tax Clinic volunteering, and membership to professional and bar associations.
