New York University law students will soon be able to learn how to fight for a “decarbonized future” and against “environmental racism.”
The university announced a new Environmental Justice Laboratory will begin this fall.
“This gift innovatively targets the intersection of two areas of pressing social concern, environmental harm and racial inequity,” Dean Troy McKenzie stated in a news release.
“Environmental justice has been an emerging area of focus here at the Law School and across the country,” McKenzie stated. “This funding will enable us to significantly expand that work and contribute meaningfully to the field. I’m grateful to the Napolis for their extraordinary generosity.”
