In Students for Fair Admission, Inc. v. President and Fellows of Harvard College, the Supreme Court of the United States held that Harvard and University of North Carolina’s admissions programs, which considered an applicant’s race, violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. While this decision focused on college admission programs, the impact was widespread, sparking debate and scrutiny over affirmative action policies and workplace diversity, equity, inclusive and accessibility (“DEIA”) initiatives. We will discuss the key issues, legal arguments and implications (if any) of SCOTUS’ decision on workplace DEIA initiatives.
