Segregation

President's Report

In the 1954-1955 section of the President's Report titled "Report of The T.C. Williams School of Law," there was a brief subsection labelled "Segregation" which told of the role of the Association of American Law Schools in addressing segregation within law schools. The President's Report wrote that although non-segregation was made an "objective" by the association, it was not then made a "requirement." Of the 130 member schools, only 16 law schools remained segregated by 1955--eleven of which were privately endowed institutions in the South. The Report, however, did not provide any information specific to the University of Richmond.
