Join us for a two-part series on the impact of the recent U.S. Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruling overturning affirmative action and how it affects workplace DEIB initiatives, educational institutions, and student admissions.

Part One: Navigating the New Era of Workplace DEIB Post SCOTUS Ruling

The recent Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action in college and university admissions has significant implications for all companies with DEIB programs. Many corporate leaders are just beginning to navigate and understand the ruling, and political commentary has created further confusion for business leaders and uncertainty on how they can continue their DEIB commitments and progress.

This luncheon event will feature an esteemed panel of trusted partners from Kanarys, an award-winning DEIB technology company; FordHarrison, a national labor and employment law firm; and Project Mockingbird, an industry-leading PR and communications agency that specializes in DEIB communications. Developing a strategy for your workplace may seem daunting in light of the evolving landscape, but it is critical to establish comprehensive strategies that integrate legal expertise, strategic communication, data-driven solutions, and change management.

At this event, they will cover the following:

Discussion on the details of the SCOTUS ruling, what led to it, and the legal implications
Address the Texas-specific DEI legislation banning diversity, equity, and inclusion programs at public universities
Focus on innovative strategies colleges and universities are using to diversify their campuses including adversity scores, admission essays, socioeconomic-based affirmative action, and percentage plans
