In recent years, we have seen an increase in political efforts across the country to limit diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. While the vast majority of the proposed and enacted legislation has targeted educational institutions, some it has specifically sought to curb DEI efforts in the workplace. With the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College in June 2023, many employers have been left wondering how the Court’s decision affects not only their DEI policies, initiatives, and practices, but their workplaces as a whole.

Join us as we breakdown the history of the Students for Fair Admissions Inc. v. President & Fellows of Harvard College, the Supreme Court’s ruling, and how the ruling potentially impacts employers.
