The News: The Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty (WILL) has filed a lawsuit against the State Bar of Wisconsin for promoting discriminatory DEI practices including its “Diversity Clerkship Program,” which offers premier internship opportunities based primarily on race.
WILL’s client must pay mandatory and annual State Bar dues, which not only fund this internship program, but also other programs and communications that discriminate against him and thousands of other Wisconsin attorneys.
The Quotes: WILL Associate Counsel, Skylar Croy, stated, “When the government discriminates based on race, it sows more division in our country and violates the Constitution in the process. WILL is standing up against discrimination and holding the State Bar accountable to the rights of its due-paying members.”
Wisconsin employers using state DEI internship program to "engage in illegal affirmative action," new lawsuit alleges. Prominent participants in State Bar program include @Fiserv, @GEHealthCare, @NM_Financial, @Kohler, @Froedtert.
