The federal assault on "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion" is hitting Pittsburgh psychology. A slew of confusing and intrusive regulations have resulted in the shutting of training opportunities, research programs, and funding for students and faculty alike.

GPPA board member and Point Park University faculty member, Rachel Battaglia, will review some of the most important regulations in play, and discuss the real impact this is already having on psychology training. The legal implications of the regulations will be reviewed, as well as the landscape of responses. Significant time will be provided for participants to discuss the impact on the Assault on DEI in their work, and how everyone is dealing with the new political environment.
