On Friday, February 23, Ronald A. Norwood, Chair of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee, presented a CLE discussing the Harvard/UNC Supreme Court Ruling and how opponents of DEI efforts seek to use that ruling as a justification for dismantling DEI programs adopted by private employers and law firms. Ron published an article in the SLU Law Journal Online that explains why the rationale in the Harvard/UNC Supreme Court ruling should not be applied to law firms and private employers.
