David Glasgow

Kenji Yoshino, NYU constitutional law professor who champions 'leveling,' and David Glasgow, NYU Meltzer Center director focused on practical DEI strategies. They debate reframing DEI from 'lifting' to 'leveling.' Short takes cover legal limits on affirmative action, blind auditions as a leveling win, and concrete tools like structured interviews and transparent criteria.

David Glasgow is the Executive Director of the Melzer Center for Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging at NYU's School of Law and a leading expert in DEI. He discusses the shifting landscape of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives in corporations post-George Floyd. Glasgow elaborates on the motivations behind the recent backlash against DEI practices and the significance of sustaining these initiatives amidst legal and political pressures. He also underscores the urgency for companies to recommit to fostering inclusivity and address systemic challenges.
