☆ Campus protests have called for schools to divest from Israel. Here's how that would actually work
  + stars: | 2024-05-17 | by ( Anuz Thapa | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
One constant refrain at these protests is the call for college endowment funds to divest from Israel and the many American companies that do business there. Tech companies such as Google and Amazon and defense contractors such as Boeing and Lockheed are on that list. "These endowments are famously opaque," said Alison Taylor, clinical associate professor at New York University's Stern School of Business. However, many universities have ignored the calls to divest from Israel or companies that do business there. Watch the video above to learn more about how divesting from Israel and companies who do business there would actually work, and how it would affect the tens of billions of dollars at stake in college endowment funds.

☆ Corporate America Is Going Un-Woke: Reversing DEI, Sustainability Plan
  + stars: | 2024-05-09 | by ( Emily Stewart | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Plenty of companies are reining in their rhetoric and in some cases action on issues such as sustainability and diversity. Over the past decade, many corporations have at least professed to take a more active role in social issues, under pressure from their customers and, more importantly, employees. After last year's Bud Light debacle, which was a real blow to its business, executives fear they'll be the next target of some anti-woke outcry. For the fourth quarter of 2020, 131 companies mentioned ESG, and 34 mentioned DEI or diversity and inclusion. This may be a great un-wokening, but maybe corporate America was actually never that committed to the idea in the first place.

☆ Goldman Sachs to pay $215 mln to end gender bias lawsuit

May 8 (Reuters) - Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) agreed to pay $215 million to settle a class action alleging widespread bias against women in pay and promotions, ending one of the highest-profile lawsuits claiming unequal treatment of women on Wall Street. In a well-known 1990s case, Smith Barney settled charges that men harassed women in a space known as the "Boom-Boom Room." "This settlement will help the women I had in mind when I filed the case," Orlich said in a statement. The settlement also calls for Goldman to hire independent experts to analyze its gender pay gaps and performance evaluation processes. In 2020, the bank said it aimed for 40% of vice presidents to be women within five years.
☆ Companies can't do layoffs right because they're trying to act like 'cool parents'
  + stars: | 2023-04-13 | by ( Rebecca Knight | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Stripping people from their livelihoods is the most consequential action a company can take — and an inherently painful one, at that. While there might not be a good way to let employees go, there are a lot of bad ways to do it. Some, such as Google, have conducted layoffs by email. But the harshness of recent layoffs suggests that any managerial empathy workers gained during the depths of the pandemic was short-lived. That's why it's understandable that workers are angry about the way layoffs have been handled, Taylor added.
