  • The Tenth Circuit dismissed a suit brought by an ex-prison worker claiming DEI training created a hostile work environment.
  • Experts say the ruling gives litigants a sense of how to bring successful claims in the future.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit issued one of the first appellate rulings last week addressing claims that diversity training created a hostile work environment—and employment lawyers say the opinion provides a roadmap for a flood of expected similar claims.

Also last week, the Fourth Circuit upheld a multimillion-dollar award for a white former Novant Health executive who claimed he was fired so the company could advance diversity goals.
