Robert Case replied to Diversity Executive Editor's discussion 'Mayor Bloomberg's Diversity Efforts Negligible at the Top'
Mayor Bloomberg needs to understand that it is not good enough to have an equal distribution of diversity in city employees. (http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2010/06/29/nyregion/29diversity-graphic.html?ref=nyregion) He needs to surround himself w?Sat, 21 Aug 2010 21:18:03 +0000

Should Wal-Mart's Gender Discrimination Suit Be Dropped?
2010-08-26T18:00:32.150Z
Yesterday Wal-Mart asked the Supreme Court to throw out a class action gender discrimination suit that could cost the retailer billions of dollars in damages, and involve more than a million women in what has been described as the largest sex-discrimination class action.
According to an Aug. 25th Reuters article "The litigation has ground through the federal courts in California for nine years, including six at th…Are White Men Under Attack?
2010-07-26T21:27:50.701Z
I interviewed Dr. Stephen DeFelice today, who recently wrote a book The Attack on the White Male and the Weakening of America. In the interview he said that the persistent attack on white men, whether it's in the media, in political arenas or in the realm of diversity, has led to a weakening of America as a nation.

2010-07-15T15:48:16.757Z
I read that Argentina legalized same-sex marriage today, becoming the first country in Latin America to give gays and lesbians all the legal rights associated with marriage that heterosexual couples enjoy.
Change is good. Argentina is perhaps ahead of the race with its female president Cristina Fernandez, but as I read the article I caught many of the same threads that have always inhibited progress in diversity: fear,…Mayor Bloomberg's Diversity Efforts Negligible at the Top
2010-07-08T16:53:28.836Z
I ran across an interesting article in the New York Times that pointed out Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's diversity vows and his actions therein are not in line.
Bloomberg has made nine new appointments to his administration, and all of them are white. All but one is a man.
"Despite a pledge he made when he took office to make diversity a hallmark of his administration, Mr. Bloomberg has consistently surrounded himself wit…Multiple Identities
2010-07-01T22:21:20.039Z
I attended an interesting session at this weeks Conference Board diversity event around multiple identities.
Essentially, we got into small groups and each person discussed the different sides of themselves they bring to work and how those multiple identities help or hinder their performance or personal satisfaction.
One lady told a compelling tale about being an introvert in a world filled with extroverts. A man told how he avoided revealing that he was gay and why he felt it was important to…Subtle Age bias

I'm interested in devloping an article that effectively calls attention to contemporary signs of age bias, age-based micro inequities, etc. Short and compelling anecdotes, tips for managers, etc., are especially welcomed.

Race and gender are charged topics. Valid ones, but ones filled with layers and context, both negative and positive. Most aspects of diversity are, but these two in particular are discussed constantly, with varying degrees of resolution.
Have you ever held your tongue, or censored yourself from stating your opinion because you didn't want it be viewed as yet another racial remark or feminist rant?

2010-06-16T21:16:47.744Z
Or should I say a lack of a woman?
A year ago BP's Vivienne Cox, the head of its renewable energy business, left the company, and in a recent blog Avivah Wittenberg-Cox creates a rather compelling argument that suggests Cox's departure may have led to the organization's current state of emergency.
Wittenberg-Cox writes that in a 2009 speech at Stanford University, current BP CEO Tony Hayward said, "BP had too many people ?trying to save the worl…Bias, Bias Everywhere
2010-06-10T20:09:26.863Z
Bias is kind of like a virus, there are seemingly more kinds than we have cures for! According to today's NPR piece More Workers Alleging Bias Against Caregivers while there's no federal law banning workplace discrimination against employees who care for elderly or disabled family members, there has been an upswing in lawsuits by workers alleging unfair treatment by their employers.
