Litigation Content
Why This Matters:
The plaintiff alleges that a policy requiring racial diversity within a health equity advisory council violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Maintaining racial and ethnic diversity within the council can lead to the advancement of equitable health policies within the state.
Potential Impact:
Limiting policymakers’ ability to formulate policies that promote the recruitment of a diverse workforce could continue to hamper efforts to diversify such workforce, ultimately negatively impacting patient care and public health, especially for racial and ethnic minorities.
