The University of Arizona sits on the original homelands of Indigenous Peoples who have stewarded this Land since time immemorial. Aligning with the university's core value of a diverse and inclusive community, it is an institutional responsibility to recognize and acknowledge the People, culture, and history that make up the Wildcat community. At the institutional level, it is important to be proactive in broadening awareness throughout campus to ensure our students feel represented and valued.
Following the tragic death of George Floyd and the outrage that followed, the Arizona Law community responded. The gallery directly below is a visual collection of statements written and shared by Arizona Law student groups and Dean Marc Miller. Those statements are also collected in PDF below.
Collected with those statements is a selection of scholarship and opinion produced by Arizona Law faculty exploring the various topics and issues found in this guide. A number of links in the AZ Law Scholarship Section direct users to relevant content on other guide pages. All material was curated from our Faculty Scholarship Database.
