I don’t believe there are any laws that make that illegal. There are plenty of black only recruiting events, there was one at my college. If you can find me a law that says this is illegal I will bite my tongue, but from what I can tell it applies to employers, not anything close to recruiting events.

I swear to fucking christ

Are you a lawyer? Because the legal team of this event made this decision

I’m not citing case law to you just because you think you know better than a team of actual lawyers. Jesus.

Sure. I agree. But they can’t have women only hiring fairs. It’s the law. They could be sued.

This statement didn’t come from lawyers btw. I suggest you look into non discrimination laws and youll see why i feel the way i do.
