Law School Threatened Disciplinary Action Against Students Who Opted Out of DEI Training
Simmons Law School at Southern Illinois University has threatened disciplinary action against students who opted out of mandatory diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training. Students who miss the training may receive a letter of reprimand, which could impact their future bar applications. This situation reflects a broader trend among law schools mandating DEI training for students.
