About the Program
As federal enforcement efforts continue to evolve, employers are navigating renewed scrutiny around civil rights compliance and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. With a likely increase in agency action on the horizon, there is growing uncertainty about how DEI-related practices may be evaluated and enforced across the federal government. With key developments expected later this month, understanding how and where enforcement actions may emerge is essential.
Join us as we examine the federal landscape, explore how enforcement actions may unfold across agencies, and unpack the practical implications and strategies employers can use to stay ahead.
Key topics to include:
-
The DOJ’s authority under federal civil rights statutes and what enforcement actions may follow the report
-
The EEOC’s jurisdiction and role in investigating and pursuing claims related to employer DEI practices
-
How and where potential enforcement actions could be brought—administrative forums, federal courts, or otherwise
-
Practical guidance for reviewing internal policies and procedures in light of evolving federal scrutiny
