A Black woman was struggling to find a new job, being stood up on interviews on the few interview invites she did receive. So she decided to catfish herself. Under a white profile picture and the name “Emily” on her resume, she received 57.9% interview invites on jobs she applied for, vs the 8.9% she was receiving under her real identity. A nearly 50% increase on interview invites. Without DEI, we are not living in a meritocracy.

We had the best two days at Knobbe Martens in beautiful Seattle! It was a wonderful time to connect with our ChIPs PNW Leadership: Christie Matthaei, Lisa Oratz, and Alieza A. We cannot thank Christie and the team at Knobbe Martens enough for welcoming us into their space and making us feel at home. We'll be back, Seattle!

Read this now. Those of us in professional associations know by expanding the talent pool, we will benefit from having access to the most highly qualified and effective workforce. Why is this so scary?
Executive Director, Meltzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging; co-author of SAY THE RIGHT THING: How to Talk About Identity, Diversity, and Justice (Simon & Schuster, 2023)
I spoke with Scripps News about Trump's recent executive orders relating to DEI. I am already seeing a lot of fear and confusion in the private sector about the impact of these orders, so here are a few points that I hope provide some clarity: 1. Trump's executive orders are just that—executive orders. They are not laws passed by Congress. The "Dismantle DEI Act" has not become law, nor has the entire Project 2025 agenda. The executive orders are limited in scope and it is important to read their text closely to avoid over-complying: https://lnkd.in/ghjsXi_s. 2. The order most relevant to the private sector is the executive order on "ending illegal discrimination." This order revokes Executive Order 11246 (which required equal opportunity and nondiscrimination in government contracting), and directs the Office of Federal Contract Compliance to cease holding contractors responsible for taking "affirmative action." It also instructs the Attorney General to submit recommendations for how to "encourage the private sector to end illegal discrimination and preferences," such as through civil compliance investigations and litigation. 3. Trump has also revoked some of Biden's executive orders, including the Biden order that revoked Trump's 2020 ban on certain forms of DEI training by federal contractors. The 2020 order was successfully challenged in court and subject to a nationwide preliminary injunction that was issued in December 2020. 4. The other anti-DEI executive orders that Trump has issued on "ending radical and wasteful government DEI programs" and on "gender ideology" are mostly targeted at the federal government itself and do not require private-sector organizations to dismantle their own DEI programs. My main takeaway from these orders is that this is exactly the administration I expected it to be. We always knew that Trump would seek to destroy DEI from day one, and would use agency enforcement powers to target pro-DEI organizations. Andrea Lucas—the newly appointed Acting Chair of the EEOC—underscored this point yesterday when she announced that she would prioritize "rooting out unlawful DEI-motivated race and sex discrimination." Every organization with DEI programs should engage in a careful self-audit of their DEI activities in consultation with legal counsel to avoid being targeted by the new administration. But even after the executive orders of yesterday and the day before, the vast majority of DEI work remains completely legal. https://lnkd.in/ga89MczU
