New York Law School Announces New Race Focus and Required Courses on Systemic Racism

Students of the law, get ready to learn about systemic racism. Such will be the case at New York’s Yeshiva University.

As reported by The Washington Free Beacon, the college’s Cardozo School of Law sent an email to attendees Thursday delivering news of a change.

The message hailed a major curriculum overhaul “designed to help our students examine and understand racism in the law and throughout the legal system.”

To that end, the incoming Class of ’24 will be the first required to complete at least one of the following courses:

• Cross-Cultural Negotiation
• Race and the Law
• Indigenous Rights in the Americas
• Critical Race Theory
