The published article on Williams Oinonen LLC’s recent win in the 11th circuit affirming the denial of qualified immunity for government officials in a race discrimination case features our honorable client, long time educator Dr. Lana Foster. Her attorney Julie Oinonen is quoted stating: “another example of why lawful DEI is still desperately needed…Race discrimination exists in 2026 more than ever for Black women, who are being pushed out of the job force due to the racist policies of the current administration….Again, why DEI is not only important in the workplace as well as in academia. All of our constitutional civil rights are put at risk when institutions capitulate to authoritarianism and roll back DEI efforts.”
We are honored to continue to fight for justice in the ongoing case of Lana Foster v. Echols County School District et al. The 11th circuit Court of Appeals opinion can be read here.
