Where Do We Go From Here?: Navigating Diversity Challenges and Innovating Legal Operations in Today’s Political Climate
May 7, 2025 | 10:00 AM-10:45 AM PT
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision in SFFA v. Harvard and recent executive orders, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs are under heightened scrutiny and facing significant legal challenges. These challenges have been further intensified by the current administration's policies and the rollback of DEI initiatives by several organizations. This session will address the evolving legal landscape and provide best practices to mitigate risks while continuing to uphold DEI values.
