Unconscious Bias training is one of the most valuable classes that I've seen. Have you tried collecting surveys or sharing case studies to demonstrate what employees have learned and how the class has benefited employees and the company as a whole?

We have! Our company has refused to invest in unconscious bias training :(

In my state DEI programs and policies in public colleges and universities have been deemed unconstitutional. The ban encompasses specialized hiring practices and employee supervision, any mandatory training and programmed activities pertaining to DEI. All policies must comply with Sections 3 and 3a in Article I of the Texas Constitution. In my opinion, DEI programs are in sync with the Texas Constitution.

In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The New Yorker released the transcript of a previously unpublished interview with James Baldwin, who gave a first-hand account of "Freedom Day 1963," a Black voter-registration drive in Selma, Alabama.

Latinx - help! We used this term in our diversity spotlight discussing Hispanic Heritage Month. One individual said that in English a group of Latinos would just be Latins to be gender neutral.
