Career Services For Employers

ADDITIONAL OCI DETAILS AND POLICIES

There is no cost associated with the OCI program. In addition to our traditional on-campus interview programs, we can help schedule on- and off-campus interviews during the academic year. While travel costs prevent many students from traveling to neighbor islands, several neighbor island judges and employers have travelled to Oʻahu to conduct on-campus interviews. We also offer employers the convenience of conducting virtual interviews.

All employers wishing to participate in the On-Campus Interview (OCI) program and/or on-campus recruiting activities must read the Non-Discrimination Policy of the William S. Richardson School of Law. Registering for the OCI program affirms an organization’s adherence to the non-discrimination policies of the University of Hawai‘i. The Law School requires that all interviewers be familiar with fair employment and interview practices and that they refrain from making any illegal inquiries. The Law School adheres to the University’s non-discrimination policies: “To promote an education climate that complies with equal opportunity/affirmative action policies of the University of Hawaiʻi, which is committed to a policy of nondiscrimination based on race, sex, gender identity and expression, age, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, disability, genetic information, marital status, breastfeeding, income, assignment for child support, arrest and court record (except as permissible under State law), sexual orientation, national guard absence, and status as a covered veteran.” See University of Hawaiʻi EEO/AA Policies.

Although Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell has been repealed, there are still unresolved issues of discrimination involving LGBTQI individuals by the United States military employment policies. The William S. Richardson School of Law is required by law and by the University administration to allow military employers equal access to campus recruiting opportunities, despite military policies that violate University non-discrimination policy. The military must adhere to all other recruitment policies of the Law School. In allowing military employers to recruit on campus, the Law School is complying with the mandate of The Solomon Amendment that is a part of the National Defense Authorization Act of 1995. The Solomon Amendment stipulates that Federal funds, such as student aid, will be denied to any school that prevents the military from recruiting on its campus.

NOTE: By registering to participate in OCIs, I hereby acknowledge that I have read the University of Hawaii, William S. Richardson School of Law Non-Discrimination Policy. I affirm that my organization is an equal opportunity employer, offering employment without regard to race, color or national origin, gender, age, religion, physical disability, marital, parental or veteran status and sexual orientation, and that our interviewing practices at the law school will be in accordance with the law school’s policy.
