CRAFTING LEGAL DE&I PROGRAMS – OPPORTUNITIES AND PITFALLS
Throughout the United States, employers are putting in place Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) programs for the express purpose of achieving a more “diverse” workforce. The goal of increasing the number goal minority and female (and other) employees applies not just in the workforce in general, but throughout the entire workforce, with special emphasis on “key” positions.
While achieving a more diverse workforce is a laudable goal, are such programs lawful?
There are, after all, numerous laws, state and federal, that flatly prohibit employers from making employment decisions based on gender, race, national origin and other protected characteristics. And those laws protect everyone, not just minorities. Non-minority employees and ex-employees are filing an increasing number lawsuits accusing employers of what some refer to as “reverse discrimination.” And some of those lawsuits are succeeding.
For example, in 2022 a white, male former executive was awarded $3,700,000 following a jury trail in which he alleged his former employer terminated his employment because of his race in order for the employer to meet its DEI objectives.
A little-known fact is that in 1979, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision discussing when it is lawful, and when it is unlawful, for an employer to use “race-conscious” factors in making employment decisions.
