Title: DEI Was Never Enough: Emory’s Rollback & The Future of Workplace Equity (with Janis Middleton)


Description:

Corporate America pledged $50 billion to racial equity after 2020. But years later, most of that money never left the press release. DEI jobs are disappearing, institutions are retreating, and now Emory University has shut down all of its DEI offices.


In this episode of Outreach with Reggie, I’m joined by Janis Middleton, a DEI strategist and truth-teller, to unpack:

  • ​Why DEI was never enough to deliver real justice
  • ​How the Supreme Court’s affirmative action ruling shaped today’s backlash
  • ​What Emory’s decision signals for higher education and workplaces nationwide
  • ​The non-negotiables of a real equity framework
  • ​Encouragement for those fighting for change in a season of rollbacks
