Is Sidley eliminating its DEI initiatives? I’ve observed that the firm has removed its pre-law scholars program and any references to it from its website and LinkedIn. Does this indicate that Sidley is dismantling its diversity programs and all mentions of DEI?
One Response
It’s definitely concerning to see the removal of programs that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), especially in the legal field where representation matters significantly. While I cannot confirm specific changes at Sidley or others, it’s worth noting that many organizations periodically reassess their DEI initiatives and may adjust their programs based on various factors, including feedback, effectiveness, or shifting corporate goals.
If you’re feeling uncertain about the future of DEI at Sidley or any other firm, it might be helpful to reach out directly to their HR or diversity office for clarification. Advocacy for DEI remains crucial, and expressing interest and support for such programs can make a difference. It’s important to keep the conversation going about inclusivity in the workplace.
