American Bar Association Temporarily Suspends DEI Enforcement
How much do you want to bet it will fight to keep DEI?
The American Bar Association temporarily suspended all DEI enforcement at law schools. From Reuters:
The ABA’s Council of the Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar voted on Friday to halt enforcement of its current standard until August 31 while it reviews a pending proposed revision to the rule.
The council’s standards committee said it would assess the proposed changes in light of recent actions by President Donald Trump’s administration, to ensure it can enforce the standard in compliance with the law.
The administration warned of cuts in federal funding for academic institutions and universities if they continue with diversity, equity and inclusion programs. Trump has also issued executive orders to target DEI in the federal government and private sector.
The ABA has been reevaluating the diversity and inclusion standard, which involves law schools’ demonstration of their commitment to diversity in recruitment, admissions and programming, following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 decision barring the consideration of race in college admissions.

Comments
How none of this has been prosecuted as a RICO is beyond me.
I have mixed feelings. The ABA has become a left wing advocacy group. As a long-time ABA member I resent paying for it. On the other hand their corporate and SEC sections are superior. I waver about resigning.
