I am posting this as a call to my fellow hiring managers to remove racist degree reqs!
I got to chat with Natalie Alms about how we're moving the Federal government away from degree-based hiring requirements and towards practical skills.
Historically these have been used to keep out minority candidates. In Griggs v. Duke Power, SCOTUS ruled that such requirements are ILLEGAL under the Civil Rights Act. Yet instead we have enshrined them, burying the racist roots.
