A public-interest law firm has lodged federal civil rights complaints against New York and Wisconsin, representing contractors alleging significant losses due to race and gender discrimination in government contract allocations. Contractors claim that diversity requirements hinder their business growth, stating they would be much larger without these regulations. The renewed hope for change arose post-Trump's election, with indications of support for equitable practices. Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty's involvement highlights the push against what they argue are illegal discriminatory practices, calling for compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws, specifically referencing Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
We're a successful business by any metric, but if it wasn't for the diversity requirements, we would be two or three times the size.
Multiple times a day, we lose orders because we're not a minority business. Unfortunately, we can't buy off you most of the time because we have to meet these diversity goals.
