UNIVERSITY PF OREGON SCHOOL OF LAW — Professor Nantiya Ruan, Oregon Law’s 2021-22 Galen Distinguished Guest in Legal Writing, met with students, faculty, and administrators for a virtual visit on January 13, 2022.  Ruan is a Professor of the Practice of Law at University of Denver Sturm College of Law, Director of their Workplace Law Program, and of counsel at Outten & Golden, LLC. She teaches and writes in the areas of lawyering process, workplace law, poverty, race, and homelessness. Her influential scholarship, policy reports, and practice publications have had far-reaching impacts. In 2021, Ruan was awarded the Association of Legal Writing Directors’ inaugural Diversity Award for her significant contributions to improving the status of historically underrepresented and underserved groups. During her visit, Ruan presented a scholarly work-in-progress, Racial Pay Equity in “White” Collar Workplaces, to faculty and administrators. The paper submits that, while significant headway has been made regarding gender pay equity, not enough has been done to address the racial pay gap. Specifically, Ruan analyzes the financial services industry through two critical lenses: equal pay and equal opportunity. Her paper identifies six distinct challenges fueling racial pay inequities in the industry.
