In June of 2023, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on the use of affirmative action in higher education admission, leading to increased confusion among employers on how to create and implement legally compliant diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) programs. In light of the Supreme Court’s decision, employers should continue to maintain their focus on how employment opportunities are presented, engaged, directed, and advocated in a fair and just manner, without contradicting employment laws.

In this webinar, consultants from DCI Consulting and attorneys from Orrick team up for a lively panel discussion about the long-term ramifications of the Supreme Court’s decisions, risks for employers, and opportunities to ensure DEIA programs and supporting analytics not only comply with legal standards but also consider the mission and spirit of DEIA values. Attendees will gain practical takeaways on how to run effective DEIA programs while complying with federal equal employment opportunity requirements.
