The protest, sponsored by Alianza, the school's Hispanic student group, marked the group's first public demonstration against the Law School's hiring policies.
As professors gathered inside Pound Hall yesterday afternoon to promote a Black and a woman to the Law School's senior faculty, about 50 law students gathered outside to protest the school's lack of a Hispanic faculty member.
Although there are no Hispanics on the law faculty, Hispanic students comprise about 6 percent of the school's student body.
Bell said it is "the school's responsibility to recruit Hispanic professors...Not many have been asked." He cited Stanford Professor of Law Gerald Lopez as the only professor offered a post in recent years. "But he turned it down and went over to Stanford," said Bell.
"I don't think it worked well," said Shamikhah A. Rashid, vice-president of the campus' Black and Hispanic Students Organization. "We were disappointed in [the SGA] for not enforcing what they were doing," added Rashid, who is a junior.
