QUEENS DAILY EAGLE — After a long search, CUNY School of Law has a new woman at the helm. Sudha Setty was recently named the dean of the Queens law school. When she takes office later this year, she will become the first person of South Asian descent to lead a CUNY school. Firsts are not unfamiliar to Setty, who most recently served as dean of the Western New England University School of Law and became the first woman of South Asian descent in the U.S. to serve as dean of an American Bar Association-accredited law school. “I am thrilled and honored to serve as the next dean of CUNY School of Law,” Setty said. “This law school was founded with the mission of public service, social justice lawyering, inclusiveness and accessibility.” “In this moment, the nation and the world have recognized what CUNY has known all along: that our society needs more lawyers who are educated with these fundamental values to take on the challenges of today and the future,” she added. “I look forward to working with all members of the CUNY community as the law school seeks to make the world a fairer, more just, and better place.”
