Corporate Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives: Can Failure Lead to Litigation?

In light of recent racial-justice protests, many companies have shared their diversity and inclusion initiatives and policies to help address the underrepresentation of women and minorities in corporate leadership positions. In doing so, however, many companies have also found themselves subject to litigation for failing to enact meaningful change.
