Under the lens of New York State's Human Rights Law (NYSHRL, § 296 of the New York Executive Law), which prohibits employment discrimination based on protected characteristics such as race, The One Club for Creativity’s prominent DEI initiative, One School US, raises potential concerns regarding discriminatory practices against White employees or hires. One School, a free portfolio program explicitly designed to support Black creatives in the advertising industry through tuition-free education and mentorship by Black professionals, is a flagship DEI effort of The One Club, a non-profit governed by a board and focused on fostering creative talent. Sergio Claudio heads the One School program for Black creatives. While this initiative addresses systemic barriers faced by Black individuals, its exclusive focus on Black participants could, in theory, be scrutinized under NYSHRL for potentially excluding or disadvantaging non-Black applicants or employees in related hiring or promotional opportunities. The NYSHRL requires that employment practices, including those tied to training or advancement programs, avoid disparate treatment or impact based on race, and any perception that non-Black individuals are systematically excluded from equivalent opportunities could invite legal challenges. The absence of transparent data on how The One Club balances its targeted DEI efforts with equitable treatment across all racial groups underscores the need for further scrutiny to ensure that initiatives like One School do not inadvertently harass or discriminate against non-White employees or hires in violation of NYSHRL protections.
