Today, we pause to remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and to honor the extraordinary courage of the first responders, service members and everyday Americans who stepped forward in the face of unimaginable tragedy.

Twenty-five years later, we remember the nearly 3,000 lives taken too soon, the families whose lives were forever changed, and the countless acts of bravery, compassion and selflessness that emerged from one of our nation’s darkest days.

May we never forget those we lost. May we continue to honor those who ran toward danger to help others. And may we always remember the strength found in unity, kindness and our shared humanity.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

The EEOC has rescinded its long-standing guidance on voluntary affirmative action under Title VII, creating new considerations for employers evaluating DEI initiatives and affirmative action programs.

In her latest Legal Alert, Fowler White Shareholder Laurie A. Thompson examines what this policy shift means, why the loss of the EEOC's "good faith reliance" guidance matters, and the practical steps employers should consider to assess compliance and reduce potential legal risk.
