Podcasts about diversity programs

Skyrocketing costs of attendance, declining enrollment, the advent of artificial intelligence, campus debates about free speech, and a crackdown on diversity initiatives: Today's universities are in a pickle. Adding to this pickle are President Trump's threats and actions on slashing research funding — the financial lifeline of modern universities. Last month, the Chronicle of Higher Education highlighted a new survey of a diverse group of university presidents who were asked if they “believe the Trump Administration is at war with higher education” — and 94% answered they strongly agree.Luigi and Bethany speak to one academic leader with deep experience at the heart of these debates: Nicholas Dirks, former Chancellor of UC Berkeley (2013-2017) and author of the book, "City of Intellect: The Uses and Abuses of the University." Together, the three of them discuss which idea of the university is still valid in the 21st century, how fundraising changed the governance of higher education, and how universities might navigate the challenges of Trump's second administration.Revisit our previous episodes:Universities and Politics: Should They Mix? with Hanna GrayThe Economics of Student Protests

As a deadline looms for federal funding; Wichita State, KU, and K-State are making no changes to their diversity programs. We get the latest from Fox News' Jessica Rosenthal.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs have been a driving force behind innovation, employee retention, and workplace culture—but now, many companies are slashing these initiatives, leaving employees feeling unseen, unheard, and disconnected. In this solo episode of Workday Playdate, Erin dives into the corporate DEI backslide and the very real consequences of these cutbacks. But she's not here to dwell on the problem—she's here to talk solutions. And here's the twist: one of the most effective (and unexpected) ways to rebuild belonging, inclusion, and collaboration might just come from the world of improv. From psychological safety to leadership development, Erin unpacks how improv training fosters trust, empathy, and innovation in the workplace—and why now, more than ever, companies need to rethink how they create cultures where people thrive. Here's what's inside: Why Cutting DEI is a Costly Mistake—Real data on how eliminating DEI initiatives is impacting businesses and employees. The Power of Psychological Safety—How companies with inclusive cultures see stronger performance, engagement, and retention. How Improv Training Fills in the Gaps—The science behind “Yes, And,” active listening, and collaboration as tools for belonging. Case Study: Improv in Action—A real-world success story of how improv training transformed workplace culture. Your Playful Challenge—A simple improv-inspired exercise to help foster more inclusion at work today. No, you hang up first… If this episode resonated with you, Erin wants to hear from you!

Newly sworn in U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a flurry of executive orders and directives in his first days in office on matters ranging from energy to immigration. Some of those orders target diversity programs - and transgender people, with Mr Trump issuing an order proclaiming there are only two biological sexes. While the President and other conservatives say it's about fairness and decency, civil rights advocates say it is targeting vulnerable communities.

For many of us, the ability to meet and connect with a living legend is something beyond our wildest imagination. The ability to connect with Lou Vairo is equivalent to being able to access the archives of the "Smithsonian" of US Hockey. Lou Vairo is responsible for the implementation of the physical training, strategic plans, and moral compass of ice hockey as we know it today. Lou helped implement the physical training used by some of the most dominant athletic programs in the world today. It was Lou who introduced these training styles to North American hockey programs. These physical training systems were then transformed into the technical strategies used by most professional programs throughout North America today. But, arguably the most incredible element Lou Vairo introduced to the National Hockey League has been the implementation of the Diversity Program today. Not only has this program brought the important recognition of the efforts of Willie O'Ree but it has helped grow the game of ice hockey more than words can describe. *Special Thank You to - Joe Stanczyk and Mike McKinley from ⁠Libertayo Media⁠.

Students from the largest school district in the state are standing up to their school board. A march and rally are planned ahead of the Anoka-Hennepin school board meeting on Monday night. This comes after a school board member backed by a conservative parents rights group said he plans to force a budget showdown if the district does not scrap all programs aimed at racial and gender equity. Education reporter Becky Dernbach has been covering the controversy for Sahan Journal and joined MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about it.

Guests Jason Greer is the Founder and President of Greer Consulting, Inc., a labor management and employee relations consulting firm specializing in diversity, equity, and inclusion. He is a trusted source of the latest race and labor relations news for media nationwide. Summary Jason Greer and I dove deep into the crucial yet turbulent waters of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in our polarized world. We explored practical ways to nurture diverse and inclusive workplaces and addressed concerns around diversity training. It was all about building bridges and fostering a sense of belonging. Integrating DEI into the very fabric of business practices emerged as a key theme. We discussed facing fear as a hurdle to embracing diverse perspectives and the importance of creating work environments where everyone feels empowered to contribute their unique talents. It's not about one-off initiatives but about sustained efforts to build an inclusive culture that celebrates and leverages individual differences. With cultural polarization a stark reality, navigating sensitive topics and fostering productive dialogue across diverse viewpoints became another focus. We talked about addressing concerns surrounding diversity training (36:44) and finding common ground despite differing opinions. Ultimately, Jason Greer and I both gained valuable insights for navigating the complexities of DEI in today's world. By promoting understanding, challenging biases, and building bridges across cultures, we can all contribute to businesses and communities that thrive in a more equitable and inclusive environment.

On this day in legal history, August 22 1996, welfare as we knew it was ended and millions of folks living in precarity had the rug ripped out from under their feet.The so-called "Welfare to Work" bill signed by President Bill Clinton in August 1996 was a contentious piece of legislation that aimed to move individuals from welfare to employment, premised on the flawed notion that those unable to work were simply unwilling to work. The downsides of this reform were significant. Critics, including three assistant secretaries at the Department of Health and Human Services who resigned in protest, argued that the law destroyed the federal safety net, leading to increased poverty and lower income for single mothers. Some individuals were moved into homeless shelters, and states were left free to eliminate welfare entirely. Specifically, while the intention was to shift mothers from welfare to work, many found that they were not earning enough to thrive, and others were pushed off welfare rolls due to logistical challenges such as lack of child care or failure to receive notification. Despite a decline in welfare and poverty rates in the late 1990s, the negative impacts of the reform on the most vulnerable populations raised serious concerns about the true success of the legislation.In the light of history, it is clear the reform didn't achieve its stated goal of ending poverty – not by a long shot. While the reform initially seemed to be working, with unemployment dipping and poverty falling, later research has cast doubt on its efficacy. The reform reduced welfare rolls and increased employment, but it also reduced the incomes of the poor, especially the poorest of the poor. Transitioning from welfare to work may have gotten people jobs, but those people didn't actually come out ahead monetarily, as welfare would have paid better than work did. There was an increase in deep poverty, the fraction living below 50 percent of the poverty line. The availability of money as a kind of slush fund for states created an incentive for states to discourage potential beneficiaries from applying. Critics argue that the legislation got virtually every technical detail wrong, giving states too much flexibility and creating perverse incentives for states to seek alternative spending routes for money earmarked for the poor. Even many conservatives have expressed concerns about the state incentives created by the block grant. The initial assessments of the reform were overly optimistic, and there's a broad consensus outside the law's core supporters that something went deeply wrong. The failure to allow people to apply for aid, the atrophy of work programs, and the diversion of funds to other programs were unintended consequences that have led to a call for change.Jill Nelson - Apocalypse Now, The Nation (1996)"If the goal was to get rid of poverty, we failed": the legacy of the 1996 welfare reform - VoxThe law firm of the foreseeable future will be different in three critical ways: working with AI, evaluation and education, and structure. First, AI will be embedded at every level of an attorney's work, augmenting individual tasks and transforming the delivery of legal services at the practice level. This will radically optimize tasks, allowing attorneys to focus on unique work and create opportunities to scale. Second, AI will change the skills that clients expect from legal counsel, emphasizing complex problem-solving and strategic thinking over research and writing. It will also refine how lawyers are trained, calling for better mentoring and teaching, and will be central to how both attorneys and clients consume information. Third, the structure of law firms may change, with exceptions to the prohibition of ownership by non-lawyers pointing to forces that may lead to significant changes in the future. Law firms' limited ability to invest in technology may be a disadvantage, but unlocking efficiencies with AI could change the landscape. The future law firm may be able to deliver services at scale with high leverage, potentially transforming the traditional structure and approach of legal practices. These changes reflect a future shaped by current forces, particularly the integration of AI into the legal field.A pure editorial note here, I myself am always skeptical of claims that technology will radically disrupt entrenched power structures. If I had to put money on how AI changes law firm culture and the legal field, it will be to redound to the benefit of those in power now, and benefits to labor will take a long time to trickle down to junior attorneys and paralegals. Law Firms of the Future Will Be Different in Three Critical WaysNew Jersey is facing a severe judge shortage, freezing nearly 4,000 divorce proceedings and around 4,700 other family law cases. Some counties are entirely blocked from holding any divorce trials due to the lack of judges. The delays for contested divorces are sometimes measured in years, far exceeding the state's guideline of resolving cases within 12 months of filing. The shortage has persisted due to New Jersey's unique "courtesy" appointment system, where any senator can block the appointment of a judge in their home county, and accelerated retirements have worsened the situation. New Jersey currently has 57 vacancies, nearly double the system's manageable limit of 30. The backlog has broad spillover effects, affecting other civil litigants and leading to dire consequences for the injured and elderly. Political obstacles, including the "courtesy" appointment system and increased partisanship, have contributed to the dearth of judges. Despite recent confirmations, the situation is described as a "judicial crisis," and a resolution appears unlikely until at least November. The shortage has led to human tragedies, including difficulties in securing child passports, enrolling children in school due to custody battles, and forced cohabitation with abusive partners.New Jersey Judge Shortage Freezes Couples in Messy Divorce CasesActivision Blizzard, the maker of "Call of Duty," will sell its streaming rights to Ubisoft Entertainment to gain approval from Britain's anti-trust regulator for its $69 billion sale to Microsoft. The original acquisition, announced in early 2022, was blocked by the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) over concerns that Microsoft would dominate the emerging cloud gaming market. The CMA maintained its decision to veto the deal, leading to a restructured agreement. Under the new terms, Microsoft cannot release Activision games exclusively on its Xbox Cloud Gaming service or control licensing terms for rival services. Ubisoft will acquire cloud streaming rights for Activision's existing and new games for the next 15 years, except in Europe. The CMA will review the new proposal, with a Phase 1 process ending on Oct. 18, possibly followed by a longer Phase 2 examination. The deal marks a significant concession by Microsoft and a win for the CMA, reflecting its tough stance on tech deals since Brexit. Ubisoft's shares were up more than 7% following the news.Microsoft, Activision to sell streaming rights to secure biggest video gaming dealA parents group, backed by a conservative legal organization, has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider whether an admissions policy at Thomas Jefferson High School for Science & Technology in Virginia is racially discriminatory. The policy, adopted in 2020, was aimed at diversifying the student body and was considered race-neutral. It eliminated a standardized test, capped the number of students from each middle school, and guaranteed seats for top students from each. Following these changes, the percentage of Asian-American students fell, while the share of Black and Hispanic students increased. A group called Coalition for TJ sued, claiming the policy violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. While a U.S. District Judge sided with the parents, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the decision. The Supreme Court's response is pending.U.S. Supreme Court asked to hear high school admissions case concerning race | ReutersThe Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which includes provisions for transitioning industry away from coal and natural gas, also introduces a 45V tax credit for hydrogen produced with low greenhouse gas output. This means that the hydrogen must be produced by clean electricity to qualify for the tax credit. While some advocate for maintaining or enhancing this restriction, others worry that it may stifle the hydrogen industry's growth. In my column I suggest that the solution lies in better funding and streamlining the clean electricity sector and its related tax credit regime. The EU has already implemented a renewable hydrogen regulatory framework that emphasizes connecting new hydrogen generation systems to new renewable energy systems. The U.S. must also recognize that clean hydrogen's fate is tied to clean energy systems like solar and wind. Uncertainty in the clean energy sector, particularly regarding tax credit eligibility, may be slowing down the production of clean electricity systems. To foster the renewable hydrogen industry, the U.S. must streamline and clarify the clean electricity tax credit system, possibly aligning with the EU's approach. The policy should focus on locating and clarifying bottlenecks in existing regulatory frameworks and tax incentives, redirecting investments earmarked for hydrogen to grow the clean economy.Funding Clean Electricity Will Help Grow the Hydrogen Economy Get full access to Minimum Competence - Daily Legal News Podcast at www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Welcome back to "On the Mic with Ray White," the podcast where we dive deep into the world of equity, inclusion, and organizational development. In today's episode, we're tackling an important and timely topic: the challenges faced by Chief Diversity Officers in today's corporate landscape. We're living in a time where business decisions often seem to take priority over human-centric positions. It's disheartening to see CDOs being cut, programs being slashed, and commitments being walked back, all because they're not producing immediate results. But as we discuss today, patience, understanding, and long-term commitment are crucial when working towards cultural change. As an equity inclusion strategist and organizational development strategist, I've been observing the changing landscape and the struggles faced by those who advocate for inclusive and valued spaces within institutions. From the overturning of laws associated with identity to the rising prominence of Chief Diversity Officers, the conversation around diversity and inclusion has taken center stage. But with the financial challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, some CEOs are quick to see diversity and inclusion departments as non-revenue generating and opt to cut them. What they fail to recognize is that these strategies take time and constant resources to bear fruit. It's a short-sighted view that can have detrimental effects on the progress we've made thus far. Additionally, we'll explore the overwhelming responsibilities shouldered by Chief Diversity Officers in their attempts to understand business goals, individual employee needs, and the overall path toward success. Is it fair to expect one person to single-handedly address systemic racism and oppression within an institution? We'll dive into this thought-provoking question today. This episode will also examine the surge in demand for Chief Diversity Officers following the events of 2020 when the urgent need for change in systemic oppression and racism became apparent. Join me as we delve into the fast-paced nature of the diversity, equity, and inclusion space, where staying informed and navigating deeply rooted discriminatory ideologies is an everyday challenge. We'll explore the difficulties of leading organizations through strategic change to combat limiting beliefs, biases, and oppressive behaviors. Would like to hear from you!

“Supplier diversity is an intentional program that reaches out to diverse suppliers. It is about working with your business units to ensure they build relationships with and include suppliers owned by diverse persons.” – Adam Moore You may be hearing a lot of talk about supplier diversity programs these days. You may also have heard about how implementing them is crucial to success, especially in today's market and corporate environment. But do you actually need one? What are supplier diversity programs and what can they do for your company's innovation and quality goods and services? In this episode, we outline the fundamental reasons businesses need to build a supplier diversity program, especially in the context of the contemporary corporate environment. We discuss how consumer pressure is driving demand for DE&I, ESG, and CSR from companies and how supplier diversity can bridge that gap. We explore how supplier diversity officers act as a business's first line of risk mitigation. We also discuss how diverse suppliers stepped up and fulfilled product demand during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and underscore how supplier diversity professionals act as conduits between a company and the communities they want to connect with.

"Stay Effing Positive" featuring two incredible guests who are champions of diversity in the IFA and franchising industry.

Harrison Award at the International Franchise Association Annual Convention, and we are honored to have him on the show. Advocating for diversity in franchising and small business is crucial to David because it changes the economic trajectory of minority communities. Eliminating business disparities is one of the hallmarks of equity, and we couldn't agree more. In this podcast, we will explore how to create a more inclusive and equitable franchise industry, the benefits of diversity in small business ownership, and ways to overcome the challenges that minority entrepreneurs face. We believe that one person alone cannot do this work, which is why we're grateful for our franchise industry family. So, join us in our effort to promote diversity and positivity in franchising and small business by tuning in to "Stay Effing Positive"!
