Pdf Summary

The document outlines a workshop by the Council for Advancement and Support of Education (CASE) focused on navigating legal compliance in programming for student and alumni communities, specifically addressing issues related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The agenda includes a welcome, a legal expert discussion by Erica Turret from Jenner & Block Law Firm, and a strategic programming discussion featuring Kenji Yoshino's 3Ps Framework, which involves a programming audit activity.

Participants are informed that the content is educational and not a substitute for legal advice, encouraging them to have informed discussions and use an audit tool for programming decisions. The workshop aims to empower participants to engage in meaningful conversations about compliance challenges, particularly those affecting DEI initiatives.

The 3Ps Framework by Kenji Yoshino involves three considerations for DEI initiatives:
1. <strong>Preference</strong> - evaluating if an initiative favors a specific group.
2. <strong>Protected Group</strong> - determining if the favored group is legally protected under anti-discrimination laws.
3. <strong>Palpable Benefit</strong> - assessing if the initiative provides tangible benefits and could be seen as adverse if others are denied these benefits.

The workshop also highlights the current landscape where institutions face challenging decisions, especially around DEI programs. The session seeks to address the uncertainty and fear that can erode constituent trust and aims to debias environments for fair opportunities.

The strategic practices audit template is provided to foster dialogue on compliance and risk mitigation. The event closes with encouraging participants to use these tools to guide programming decisions and bolster institutional trust.
