Thanks for the question, it’s an incredibly important one, playing out on the national stage most recently with lawsuits against Harvard.

Diversity is notoriously hard to define, and few companies try due to the risk of such lawsuits. We take a deliberately broad view of diversity as you referenced, and we admit students based on a skills assessment evaluation that aspires to be blind to those criteria. No process is perfect, but this allows us to avoid the issues you mentioned. When companies hire from us, they then evaluate based on skills criteria and our certifications.

Happy to follow up if you have more questions.

I think that is a good approach. Thanks for the response.

Frankly, it's going to be very hard to avoid disparate impact with a blind skills assessment. I'm not sure whether that's a legal issue in your situation.
