There has been quite a bit of discussion on the message board concerning why firms actively attempt to recruit minorities. Do firms and law schools recruit minorities simply for the sake of being able to promote themselves as being open minded? Or do they genuinely think that diversity within the firm or classroom environment is a legitimate factor to take in to consideration? I hate to say it, but I’m feeling a little cynical on this one.
In law school, I know the administration actively tried to get every minority student on the cover of the admissions brochure (myself included). I know most firms try to do the same thing with minority associates. So even if they do genuinely believe that diversity will benefit the firm, the fact that they exploit their minority associates/students doesn’t sit well with me. How do you all feel about this (I know this is one thing everyone has an opinion about)?
