Message from the Chancellor
Southern University Law Center
Office of Career Counseling & Development
Non-Discrimination Policy
Southern
University Law Center (SULC) is committed to
ensuring equal opportunity for all of its
students and alumni, and is committed to a
policy against discrimination in employment
based on sex, actual or perceived
gender, age, race, color, religion, creed,
national or ethnic origin, disability,
sexual orientation, gender identity and
expression, genetic information; or
parental, marital, domestic partner, civil
union, military, or veteran status.
The facilities and/or services of the Office
of Career Counseling & Development may be
denied to employers whose behavior
contravenes Southern University’s policy
based on the above-listed factors.
Please note that students may file an
informal or formal grievance against an
employer who asks discriminatory questions
in any program or activity sponsored or
conducted by the Law Center.
The Office of
Career Counseling & Development requires all
employers who use its placement services to
affirm the following statement to confirm
compliance with the nondiscrimination policy
detailed above:
"Employer gives assurance that it is an
equal-opportunity employer, offering
employment without regard to sex,
actual or perceived gender, age, race,
color, religion, creed, national or ethnic
origin, disability, sexual orientation,
gender identity and expression, genetic
information; or parental, marital, domestic
partner, civil union, military, or veteran
status."
The U.S.
Military's Judge Advocate General (JAG)
departments legally consider, among other
things, factors such as age, sexual
orientation, and physical disability in
their recruiting practices. Southern
University Law Center, in accordance with
the Association of American Law Schools (AALS)
Bylaws (Section 6-3), pursues a policy of
providing its students and graduates with an
equal opportunity to obtain employment
without discrimination. Southern University
Law Center permits JAG recruiters on campus,
but notifies students considering
interviewing with JAG recruiters that the
U.S. Military's Judge Advocate General (JAG)
departments’ recruiting practices are in
conflict with SULC and AALS policies.
