Fallout in workplace from Supreme Court decision on affirmative action in college admissions

Have you noticed a lot of diversity efforts within U.S. companies are losing steam? Maybe you were wondering why. What changed? Well, it may have a lot to do with the Supreme Court striking down affirmative action when it comes to college admissions. The High Court ruled colleges can’t explicitly consider race in the college admissions process. I have to be pretty clear here. The Supreme Court ruling has no legal impact on workplace law, but there has been big-time fallout. And the terms “affirmative action” and “DEI” have become politicized and weaponized. (Like that’s a big surprise in today’s environment.) Guess what, the fallout is expected to continue. Is it because Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts had a real impact?
