A top New York City law school announced Thursday that students will be required to take courses on systemic racism and critical race theory to graduate.
In an email to students, Yeshiva University’s Cardozo School of Law laid out major curriculum changes “designed to help our students examine and understand racism in the law and throughout the legal system.” Chief among the changes is that students beginning with the incoming class of 2024 must complete at least one of four newly created classes on “race and the law” in order to graduate.
