Employer Receptions & What Happens If …
We are a diverse community and the Law School seeks to create and sustain an environment of inclusivity for all of its students that is free from discrimination and harassment. The University of Michigan Standard Practice Guide 201.35Links to an external site. sets forth the University’s Non-Discrimination policy (Policy):
The University of Michigan, as an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer, complies with all applicable federal and state laws regarding nondiscrimination and affirmative action. The University of Michigan is committed to a policy of equal opportunity for all persons and does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, age, marital status, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, disability, religion, height, weight, or veteran status in employment, educational programs and activities, and admissions.
Furthermore, discrimination based on gender, ethnicity, or military status violates the University’s commitment to ensuring equal opportunity in educational, occupational, and professional advancement, and the University would review claims of such discrimination in accordance with applicable law and policy.
We require all employers using the Office of Career Planning’s facilities or services to affirm that they comply with this nondiscrimination policy. Students are strongly encouraged to report any violations of this policy or other inappropriate conduct by employers during the recruiting process. This includes improper behavior during all stages of the interviewing process, including on-campus interviewing, off-campus recruiting events, remote interviewing, and visits to the employer.
To report a violation (or a possible violation) of this policy, please notify Ramji Kaul, Assistant Dean for Career Planning. (rkaul@umich.edu). This can be done in-person, or via email (rkaul@umich.edu). To schedule an in-person appointment, please email lawcareers@umich.edu.

But, what Happens If …
Students have often asked what to do when they experience or witness behavior at a recruiting event that doesn’t rise to the level of misconduct or discrimination, but is nevertheless awkward, uncomfortable, inappropriate, unprofessional, etc.
The answer is straightforward: please come talk to OCP. In addition to answering questions and making sure that students have access to any support resources that may be needed, this kind of information is good for OCP to know and, in some instances when it’s appropriate (and supported by the student), share with the employer (either directly with the individual, or more generally with the recruiting team). The starting point of the process in every instance is coming and talking with us.
