Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI): three terms that have now become paramount to maintaining a modern and effective practice. In light of this, the road to the initiatives that protect these tenets has been long and hard, with a history of opposition and legal decisions that impact these measures. As we navigate the aftermath of legal developments such as the Supreme Court’s recent Students for Fair Admissions (SFFA) decision, it can be vital to learn not only the history of affirmative action, but its impact, and how we can safeguard DEI in a post-SFFA decision landscape.

Join Ebony Morris and Valerie Fontenot in our free, upcoming Justia webinar as they discuss the historical background of DEI and its opposition, as well as navigating the legal developments that impact DEI initiatives moving forward.
