It is the policy of Albany Law School to provide equality of opportunity in admission or access to or treatment or employment in its programs and activities for all persons without discrimination on the basis of race, color, national or ethnic origin, sex, handicap or disability, age, religion, marital or parental status, veteran status, or sexual orientation. 

Each year Albany Law School enrolls a number of students with disabilities. Upon receipt of documentation of this disability, the Law School works with the student to accommodate individual needs. It is our goal to remove the disability as a barrier in the student‘s legal education to the extent that we are capable. In the past, accommodations have included, but are not limited to, providing the student with note takers, readers, additional time to answer exams, and clerical assistance with exams. This policy is enforced under the Educations Amendments of 1972, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975.  

Any person who believes that he/she has been denied equality of opportunity based upon one of the foregoing characteristics should report this to the Dean, the Associate Dean of Academic Affairs, the Vice-President for Enrollment Management and Student Affairs, the Assistant Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid, or the Director of the Physical Plant and Security, or to the Director of the Office of Civil Rights, Department of Health, Education and Welfare, Washington, D.C.

Pursuant to a federal statute, law schools that do not allow the military to recruit on campus risk losing federal financial aid funds for their students. Albany Law School allows the military to recruit on campus, but the presence of military recruiters should not be construed as an endorsement by Albany Law School of the military‘s practice of discrimination based on sexual orientation.
