U.S. House Passes Staff Diversity Provisions
On January 3, the U.S. House of Representatives passed Rules creating a new Office of Diversity and Inclusion, and mandating appointment of a Chief Diversity Officer and creation of a diversity plan. These measures were the outcome of consultations with the Joint Center for Political Studies, a partner with Diversity Declaration. The new rules reflect the historic diversity, and Democratic majority, of the House coming out of the November elections.
