The University of Cincinnati College of Law seeks prospective LGBTQ+ students through targeted digital recruitment campaigns utilizing the Law School Admission Council’s (LSAC) Candidate Referral Service and varying sources of lead generation ( i.e., social media, information and visit request forms, etc.).
We ask students to select their pronouns on a student services post-enrollment survey. With students’ permission, we make this information available to all faculty at the beginning of the academic year. In addition, a student may submit a sex marker update request form to request a change of the gender marker associated with their academic records at anytime via our website: https://law.uc.edu/student-life/equity-and-inclusion/lgbtq-resources.html.
Cincinnati Law is committed to attracting and retaining a diverse faculty and staff through its hiring strategies, its training practices, and its policies and procedures. The College participates in formal diversity efforts, such as Title IX training, using best practices in hiring, and training our faculty on equal employment opportunity goals and best practices. In years when the College of Law anticipates hiring, the Dean selects members for the hiring committee who are diverse with respect to gender, race, and ethnicity. The committee receives training from the university regarding diversity in hiring and best hiring practices. For each search, the committee develops and executes a recruitment plan approved by the university’s Office of Equal Opportunity and Access, including the preparation of a position announcement, encouraging diverse candidates to apply, and conducting a nationwide search with the position widely announced in multiple venues to increase its visibility and to attract diverse applicants. Special care is taken to widely announce the search through formal mechanisms, but also through blogs, listservs and social media.
As part of the application process, prospective staff/ faculty/administrators may voluntarily identify their gender identity and sexual orientation.

In addition to the university’s non-discrimination policy, the University Health services webpage has a statement regarding providing gender-affirming care for transgender students.
We have 3 single stall bathrooms that are labeled with a sign that says gender neutral bathroom. These are accessible to people with disabilities but they are not on every floor of the law school.
UC’s Department of Planning, Designing, and Construction is committed to meeting the diverse needs of UC students and has created a policy that requires any new building at UC to have at least one gender neutral restroom.
These courses have been offered but the offering is based on faculty decisions regarding the courses they’ll teach each academic year.
Funding for any student organization comes from the larger university not specifically from the law school.
In 2018, we awarded grants for two students to attend the Lavender Law Conference in New York. We look forward to continuing to provide financial support for students to attend LGBTQ+-focused learning and/or career services opportunities whenever requests are made to the law school.
The College of Law has created a bias related incident reporting tool where the law school community is invited to report incidents but there is not a requirement to. However, there is an expectation that members of our law school community will not engage in hate/bias.
