Corporate Governance As Corporate Social Responsibility: Empathy And Race Discrimination, Cheryl L. Wade Jan 2002

Corporate Governance As Corporate Social Responsibility: Empathy And Race Discrimination, Cheryl L. Wade

Faculty Publications

This Essay is one of a series of articles I have written that examines persistent racial discrimination in large, publicly held corporations. In spite of legislation prohibiting discrimination, employees of color have alleged that they have been the victims of discriminatory employment practices and racial harassment in the workplaces governed by large companies. Antidiscrimination law has not remedied the racially toxic corporate cultures of many of these companies. Because Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act has no “generalized code of workplace civility,” it does little to ameliorate workplace racial harassment. For this reason, a new approach is required …

Teaching A Professional Responsibility Course: Lessons Learned From The Clinic, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez Jan 2002

Teaching A Professional Responsibility Course: Lessons Learned From The Clinic, Antoinette M. Sedillo Lopez

Faculty Scholarship

In teaching Ethics or Professional Responsibility, I want to do more than teach students the law of the course. While it is important that students become familiar with and able to navigate the rules of professional responsibility, my clinical teaching has helped me develop additional educational objectives that I believe will affect their lives as future lawyers. I categorize my objectives in a three-credit classroom professional responsibility course as three-fold: 1) teaching the law of lawyering; 2) exploring professionalism issues;20 and 3) critically examining the profession. I will discuss a few of my experiences teaching in the clinic and how …


A Brief History Of Chicana/O School Segregation: One Rationale For Affirmative Action, Margaret E. Montoya Jan 2002

A Brief History Of Chicana/O School Segregation: One Rationale For Affirmative Action, Margaret E. Montoya

Faculty Scholarship

This article uses Critical Race Theory methodologies, such as autobiographical narratives, and analytical approaches, such as revising the history of the civil rights struggle, especially as it applies to the Chicano-Latino communities. This paper represents a student-faculty collaboration in that the students organized the conference at which some of this analysis was first proposed. This was the conference at which now Justice Sonia Sotomayor made her now iconic comments about being a "wise Latina." People can't get to be judges without first going to law school, and Latinas/as can't get to law school, at least in significant numbers, without affirmative …
