DEI is one of the most controversial issues that is most current. The issues are so major that a significant portion of Fortune 500 companies have changed or withdrawn their DEI policies. Since the Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard Supreme Court ruling in 2023, many were wondering how the ruling applicable to higher education would apply in the employment setting. In light of the executive orders issued by President Trump this year, and more recently the Guidance issued by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) on March 19, 2025, now we know. Please join this webinar on Friday, June 6, 2025 at noon, to find out the type of programs that are recommended, if not mandated, that are now considered targets of discrimination claims themselves.

Some of the issues to be discussed are the following:

What type of policies has the government flagged as being likely discriminatory, but previously allowed?
What type of affirmative action steps may still be taken without violating applicable law?
Are employers revising their written DEI policies, and if so, how?

The program will be led by Betsy Dorminey and Jim Wimberly.
