University of Dayton, Other Ohio Law Schools Focus on Diversity

The University of Dayton (UD) law school is partnering with Central State University (CSU) in an effort to grow the diversity of its program. CSU currently has partnerships with Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio. Besides working to increase the diversity of UD's program - 15 percent of whom are minority students - the university wants to raise local awareness of its programs.

Financial need, a lack of mentors and other barriers have kept the number of African American attorneys at about 4 percent when African Americans make up 13 percent of the national population.
