221: What People Don't Understand About Affirmative Action with Julie Kratz

With this summer's SCOTUS ruling against affirmative action, it is predicted that enrollment of students of color will decline at universities, leading ultimately to declines in workforce participation. This is problematic because younger generations are increasingly more diverse. The lack of representation in the workforce creates a disconnect between the population and employment where organizations will struggle to reflect the very communities that they are trying to serve.

There are some common misunderstandings about affirmative action that people need to understand for these perceptions to shift. Learn what misunderstandings can help narrow the gap in this episode with Julie Kratz. Learn more at https://www.forbes.com/sites/juliekratz and at https://www.linkedin.com/in/juliekratz/
