Constangy partner Cara Crotty presented a webinar on Oct. 31 on what employers need to know following the Supreme Court’s Affirmative Action decision and its impact on DEI programs. SHRM and HRCI credit are pending for this webinar.
The webinar detailed the Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. President & Fellows of Harvard and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, how DEI programs are implicated by that decision, recent legal actions involving DEI policies, what DEI practices could be problematic, and what steps employers should take to ensure DEI programs remain compliant and lawful.
