Join DAIP for a virtual conversation with legal experts ahead of the SCOTUS decisions in two cases that will determine the constitutionality of race-conscious university admissions policies, which is often referred to as affirmative action. Since the 1960s and 70s, affirmative action has led to increased equity in the admissions process, more diverse student bodies, and more enriching learning experiences for all students. Join us for a conversation about the anticipated impacts of blocking affirmative action–on admissions practices, student experiences, workforce pipeline, workplaces, and more. 

This conversation will feature: 

• Moderator Ralph Tavares Jr. (Equity & Inclusive Excellence Manager, Diversified Search Group) has spent two decades creating equity and access in higher education for students of color. 
• Panelist Diana J. Hassel (Professor, Roger Williams University School of Law) is a legal expert in constitutional law and civil rights litigation.
• Panelist Michael J. Yelnosky (Professor, Roger Williams University School of Law) is a founding member of the RWU law faculty, and a legal expert in employment and labor law, employment discrimination law, and judicial selection.
