ForwardDrilling Deep on Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DEI”)
This webinar is part 2 of 4 in "The Compliant Campus" webinar series. To purchase the full series, click here.
The Trump Administration’s shifting interpretation of DEI has caused federal funding recipients, including colleges and universities, to grapple with how these directives affect their policies, procedures, and compliance obligations. This webinar will offer important takeaways for higher education programs which may be the most at risk from an enforcement perspective—from admissions to scholarships to affinity groups.
The training will also detail new certifications and assurances that were added to many grants, highlight any new Uniform Guidance changes relating to DEI and disparate impact, and detail the False Claims Act enforcement risks announced by new Department of Justice task forces. As the DOJ initiates investigations into DEI practices and programs, what can be expected from such investigations and what steps should colleges, universities and higher education institutions take now to mitigate risk?
The on-demand version of this webinar will be available for purchase one week after the conclusion of the live webinar.
