I don’t believe there are any laws that make that illegal. There are plenty of black only recruiting events, there was one at my college. If you can find me a law that says this is illegal I will bite my tongue, but from what I can tell it applies to employers, not anything close to recruiting events.

I swear to fucking christ
Are you a lawyer? Because the legal team of this event made this decision
I’m not citing case law to you just because you think you know better than a team of actual lawyers. Jesus.

good lord, relax. he’s obviously saying he thinks they should be permitted to have women only events.

Sure. I agree. But they can’t have women only hiring fairs. It’s the law. They could be sued.
