Christy Kiely and Teddie Arnold Discuss DOJ's Civil Rights Fraud Initiative in SHRM
SHRM quoted Christy Kiely and Teddie Arnold in its article, “Justice Department Launches Civil Rights Fraud Initiative,” on May 30. The Seyfarth attorneys discussed the US Department of Justice’s plan to use the False Claims Act to pursue federal fund recipients that violate civil rights laws, with potential penalties including triple damages.
“Under the initiative, it's not just the federal government looking for unlawful DEI, but also applicants, employees, customers, suppliers, and even the general public.”
