Symplicity Job Posting Database Policy

The Symplicity Job Posting Database is a free service provided to employers, University of Miami School of Law students and University of Miami School of Law graduates. The Office of Career and Professional Development makes no warranty as to the suitability or performance of the advertised positions or of employers advertising positions through this service.  The Office of Career and Professional Development does not warrant or represent that any posting or opportunity, whether paid or unpaid, complies with the Fair Labor Standards Act and/or other federal and state labor and employment laws.

University of Miami Non-Discrimination Policy

Employers who utilize the Office of Career and Professional Development's programs and services, including recruiting programs and its job posting database, must adhere to the University's Non-Discrimination Policy:

It is the policy of the University of Miami that no person within the jurisdiction thereof shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, disability, veteran status, genetic information or any other protected factor be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination or harassment (including all forms of sexual harassment and sexual violence) under any program or activity of the University, regardless of whether such program or activity occurs on-campus or off-campus. Retaliation against an individual who files a complaint of discrimination, opposes a policy/procedure/practice because he/she/they believes it to be discriminatory, or who participates in the investigation of a discrimination complaint, is prohibited.

Military Recruitment at University of Miami School of Law

A limited exception to the University of Miami Non-Discrimination Policy is in place for the United States Military, and military recruiters are permitted to recruit on campus. In allowing military recruitment on campus, the University of Miami School of Law acknowledges that the military’s hiring and retention policies are inconsistent with the Non-Discrimination Policy and Miami Law’s overall commitment to a welcoming and inclusive environment for all students. Under the Solomon Amendment, passed by the United States Congress in 1996, law schools that bar the military from its campuses jeopardize their receipt of federal funding, which can include financial aid funding. Miami Law’s decision to permit military recruiters on campus is in response to the Solomon Amendment and is not an acceptance of the military’s discriminatory hiring and retention policies.  

Preferred Name, Gender Marker, and Gender Pronouns Policy

The University of Miami School of Law seeks to ensure that the it is a safe and inclusive environment for the LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer) community. The intention of this policy is to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for students who identify as transgender, non-binary, or gender nonconforming at the University of Miami School of Law. Students have the right to be addressed by a name, gender marker, and set of gender pronouns that corresponds to the student’s gender identity.  The School of Law’s Preferred Name, Gender Marker, and Gender Pronouns policy is available in the School of Law’s Student Handbook, pages 8-9.
