Policies on Nondiscrimination, Sexual Harassment and Fair Employment:

The Career Center’s commitment to diversity is reinforced in the University of Minnesota Board of Regents Policy on Equity, Diversity, Equal Opportunity, and Affirmative Action, under which the Law School shall provide equal access to and opportunity in its programs, facilities, and employment without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or gender expression.

The Policy on Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault, Stalking and Relationship Violence governs the University of Minnesota’s commitment to preventing and addressing sexual harassment, sexual assault, stalking, relationship violence and related retaliation.

Additionally, the Fair Labor Standards Act prohibits unpaid internships with for-profit entities when course credit is not available.
