RegisterIn Summer 2023, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that race can no longer be a factor in admissions at colleges receiving federal funds. This landmark decision has sparked a surge of lawsuits challenging DE&I initiatives, hiring practices, and minority/women-owned/disadvantaged business enterprise (MWDBE) programs across industries.
Join Melinda S. Gentile (Of Counsel, Miami), Kim Altsuler (Co-Managing Partner, Houston), and Jennifer Harris (Partner, Washington, D.C.) for an engaging discussion on the implications of these rulings. Explore the evolving arguments for and against diversity initiatives and the uncertain future of DE&I and MWDBE programs within the construction industry.
