Despite public disagreement amongst professors, U of L’s Brandeis School of Law voted to “champion the cause of compassion” on Jan. 19.
The school is now the fifth law school in the country to adopt a policy based on compassion, meant to represent all walks of life and provide fairness to people and ideas that normally do not receive such treatment.
Nearly a month since the policy’s implementation, not much has changed, according to Dr. Susan Duncan, Interim Dean of the Brandeis School of Law.
“We voted to be a part of the ‘compassionate city’ initiative that was put in place by Mayor Fischer in 2011,” said Duncan.
