Last June, the U.S. Supreme Court held in a 6-3 decision that admissions programs at Harvard University and the University of North Carolina violated the Constitution when they used race as a factor in admissions. While the Supreme Court decision was specific to higher education institutions, employers are already starting to see the implications this decision may have on workplace equal opportunity and DEI&A programs.
In this webinar, Margo Pave (Director, Human Capital Strategy Group at Resolution Economics), and Cheryl Boyer (Director, Diversity Services at Berkshire) will discuss the legal landscape affecting employers since the Supreme Court decision and offer perspectives on what employers should consider when assessing their equal opportunity and DEI&A programs in light of these developments.
In this presentation our experts will discuss:
• Key takeaways from the SCOTUS rulings
• How the SCOTUS rulings have impacted DEI&A-related litigation and complaints
• What this decision and aftermath could mean for an employer’s DEI&A programs
• What to consider when determining how DEI&A programs can continue while minimizing risks
