Everything Compliance: Episode 151, The What is Illegal DEI Edition

Welcome to this edition of the award-winning Everything Compliance. In this episode, we have the quartet of Matt Kelly, Karen Woody, and Karen Moore, all hosted by Tom Fox, the Compliance Evangelist. They all look at various issues for compliance professionals under the current administration.

  1. Karen Moore, what is ‘illegal DEI’? She shouts out to federal employees who have been summarily terminated.
  2. Matt Kelly considers the work of DOGE at the SEC. He shouts out to James Harrison, whose plasma contains a rare antibody known as anti-D, which is used to make injections that protect unborn babies from hemolytic disease of the newborn.
  3. Karen Woody asks whether the trial of the Cognizant Technology executives will ever occur. She shouts out to Georgetown Law Dean Will Treanor, who shut down the illegal harassment of the school by the interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia.
  4. Tom Fox shouts out to the Quebecoise for embracing their Canadian-ness and all those north of the border who are responding to Trump’s bullying with ‘Elbows Up’.
