ABOUT THE WEBINAR

The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College is poised to significantly influence Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (“DEI”) practices and Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) programs and affirmative action requirements for government contracts. This landmark decision has far-reaching implications and is being exploited by advocacy groups to challenge current norms.

Yelena, Dominique, and Anthony will join special guest speaker Victoria Lipnic, former EEOC Commissioner and Human Capital Strategist, and guest speaker Paul White, both partners at Resolution Economics LLC, to explore the intricate implications of this landmark case and offer actionable insights for navigating them effectively.

Key topics will include:

  • Discussion of the federal agency response
  • Analysis of the decision and its legal ramifications
  • Practical considerations involving the impact of the decision on corporate DEI policies, ESG programs, and government contracting
  • Improving the reliability of job availability data and benchmarking

Special Guest Speaker:

  • Victoria A. Lipnic, Former Commissioner (2010-2017), and Acting Chair of the EEOC (2017-2019)
