August 24: The Supreme Court’s Prohibition on the Consideration of Race in Student Admissions and the Impact on Employer DE&I Programs

Among the flurry of end-of-term decisions issued this summer, the U.S. Supreme Court broke with long-standing precedent to rule that educational institutions can no longer take race into account when making admissions decisions. Since then, more than a dozen state attorneys general have cautioned large corporations of the potential consequences of using race as a factor in hiring and employment-related decisions, and employers are now questioning what can and cannot be done with DE&I programs that have been developed over the years to address historical inequity in the workplace.
This webinar will provide a timely discussion on the following:

• What the Court’s affirmative action decision said and did not say
• EEOC commissioner viewpoint: affirmative action and Title VII
• The impact of the decision on higher education and private employers
• Best practices for employers when implementing or reviewing workplace DE&I programs in light of the Court’s decision.
