Ground Rules & Legal Considerations
Reminders about legal considerations in graduate admissions from the U’s Office of Graduate Admissions and Office of General Counsel.
- Application review must be consistent, fair, thoughtful, and inclusive. Decisions cannot be capricious, arbitrary, or discriminatory in nature.
- Applicants are evaluated against the department’s admissions criteria; applicants should never be compared to each other.
- All applications must be reviewed by more than one person; no individual may make a unilateral decision on an offer of admission.
