Fostering Diversity at a Price?

The recent Supreme Court decision in favor of the white New Haven firefighters has not only saturated media outlets, it has also raised questions and discussions around the notion that trying to promote diversity efforts could come at a price.

‘Mature’ Workers Shake Up Norms in the Workplace

If you’ve been following recession-related news over the past few months, you’re probably aware of the fact that droves of mature workers — or those over the age of 55 — have put their retirement plans on the back burner and are continuing to slog it out in the workforce.

To be fair, though, putting us all in that box is not only unfair, it’s incorrect. Personally, I think an employee should be allowed a chance to telecommute if he or she wishes, and benefits like a gym membership and commuting cos… Continue

‘Diverse’ Pick for U.S. Supreme Court

Major news outlets have been abuzz lately regarding speculation that President Obama was set to appoint a woman to the U.S. Supreme Court — a safe bet considering all four finalists for the position were women with varying professional experiences. Following Justice David Souter’s announcement of his plans to retire this year, several published reports showed individuals urging the president to nominate a diverse candidate — a woman or minority — to the bench to better reflect the country’s inc… Continue
