Unmet Standards for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in the USA & recommendations to meet the standards.
Abstract
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) have been wholly focused on the continuous need to make American society fairer. Despite decades of efforts towards this goal, there was still a substantial difference between the desire for diversity and real-world achievement in corporations, organizations, or government. In this account, the journal traces the historical background of DEI in America before illuminating what is being done today and pointing to new standards that are not yet met, thus challenging genuine change. Structural problems like systemic racism, inequality, and cultural backlash remain in place. However, the lack of intersectionality and reliance on tokenistic band-aids instead of system-level changes has broadly short-changed DEI work. This paper takes business, education, and healthcare case studies as three examples of sectors where these challenges are evident. It ends with suggestions for reducing the chasm between policy and practice, such as improved accountability, education, training, and evidence-informed DEI. The hope is that this kind of work would be transformational and instill a more significant culture shift in making DEI-deed (these are initialism) real, moving beyond talk into action as the norm to drive measurable change for inclusivity and equity everywhere in America.
