The supreme court’s decision to strike down diversity policies in higher education raises concerns over future of DEI in employment
Now that the supreme court has declared affirmative action policies in college and university admissions unconstitutional, questions are arising over whether the court’s decision will affect diversity efforts in the workplace.
Diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives have long been taken on by companies trying to diversify their employees and leaders, and after the racial reckoning following the police killing of George Floyd in 2020, many more businesses promised to prioritize diversity initiatives in hiring and retention. Even Chick-fil-A, a company long thought of as conservative for its stance on LGBTQ issues, voiced a commitment to diversity and created a new vice-president role for DEI.
