Ever since the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision last week that bars affirmative action in college admissions, I've been waiting for the other shoes to drop. And they are starting to. Many are wondering, in particular, not just about what happens to talented kids of color as they apply to elite universities but about the effects on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs at corporations.
