DEI Initiatives in the Legal Cross Hairs

There are substantial business benefits to employers in increasing diversity, equity and inclusion.  But the laws that prevent invidious discrimination in employment restrict the steps an employer can take to increase DEI, too.  There is no “DEI exception” to the Title VII prohibition on considering race, gender, etc. in any employment decision, policy or practice.  This program will:

• Discuss the impact in the employment context of the Supreme Court’s Title VI case relative to affirmative action in higher education

• Identify specific employment practices that are illegal or legally dicey under the case laws and propose suggestions for less risky alternatives

• Discuss the likely impact of the pending Supreme Court case on the standard for challenging a discriminatory term, condition or privilege of employment

Identify specific employment practices that are illegal or legally dicey under current and anticipated case law and propose suggestions for less risky alternatives.

Speaker:  Jonathan Segal, Esq.
