A message from Deans Arnold and Bean:  Recently, several Lambda Law Caucus meeting signs were removed prior to the organization’s meeting date.  The law school administration requests that all students, staff, and faculty respect the members of our law school community, including our organizations.  Active student organizations enrich the law school and the educational, intellectual and social experiences of our students, staff, and faculty.  To this end, student organizations are permitted and encouraged to post signs in traditional posting areas, to provide information about their meetings and programs.  Please support our student organizations and let us know if you witness any behavior calculated to interfere with an organization’s postings, whether by a member of the law school community or by anyone else.

 

Some money was found in the green parking lot.  If this is yours, please email Kimberly Ballard, kimberly.ballard@louisville.edu, and provide information about how much was lost, denomination, and location.
