Race, Law, and Lies: Are Universities Pursuing Equity—Or Just Dividing America?
Thursday, October 16, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (ET)
As universities face mounting legal challenges and public scrutiny over their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, questions arise about whether these efforts are promoting equity—or deepening social and political divides. This session explores the evolving legal, cultural, and ethical landscape surrounding DEI in higher education. Topics include recent federal investigations, civil rights lawsuits, the politicization of DEI, compliance risks, and the future of inclusive policies on campus. Attendees will gain insights to help assess DEI strategies critically, navigate shifting legal standards, and advise institutions.
Learning Objectives:
- Analyze recent legal and political developments impacting DEI initiatives in higher education.
- Evaluate the compliance risks and constitutional challenges tied to race-conscious policies.
- Distinguish between lawful equity strategies and practices that may trigger legal scrutiny.
- Advise institutions or clients on building inclusive programs that align with current legal frameworks and public accountability.
