“I went to a little-publicized but interesting panel last Friday on Latino faculty at Yale Law School, consisting of three Latino alums and Nelson Castillo, President of the Hispanic National Bar Association. The discussion was about how Yale not only doesn’t currently have a tenured Latino or Latina law professor, but actually has never had one in its long history.
Yale’s Latino Law Student Association (LLSA) has been making some noise recently about this deficiency with Wall postings and meetings with administrators, who have told them that they agree that this is important, but it takes time. One interesting bit of information that came out of the panel was that the administrators have been saying this for at least 30 years. One of the panelists, Rudy Aragon, current partner at White & Case and YLS class of 1979, described efforts in the “70s to raise awareness of this deficiency as agitations bordering on the occasionally-riotous. Aragon said that the administrators told them that they supported the students, but that these things take time.”
