Southern University Law Center faculty named most diverse in U.S.

The Southern University Law Center has the most ethnically diverse faculty of any law school in the country, according to education services company The Princeton Review, which features SULC in its new 2013 edition of The Best 168 Law Schools. The Princeton Review does not rank the law schools in the book on a single hierarchical list from 1 to 168, nor does it name one law school best overall. Instead, the book has 11 ranking lists of the top 10 law schools in various categories, such as “Most Diverse Faculty,” in which SULC gets top ranking. SULC also ranked No. 2 on the “Most Chosen By Older Students” list, and third in “Best Environment for Minority Students.” The top 10 lists are based on The Princeton Review’s online survey of 18,000 students attending the 168 law schools profiled in the book. SULC is one of 59 schools, or about 35%, on the overall list that appear on one or more of the book’s ranking lists. You can check out the lists here.
