academic excellence.<br /><br />The Faculty is sensitive to issues of diversity and equity.  Its policies are designed to set consistent procedures and standards at the law school while recognizing that equity and fairness may sometimes require flexibility and variation.  <br /><br />The Faculty makes every effort to ensure that its policies are transparent and readily accessible to students.  The Faculty encourages students to raise matters of concern in the knowledge that privacy and confidentiality will be respected.<br /><br /></p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div id="home-right"> <div
