    Nasdaq Wants to Require Racial and Sex Identity Diversity Quotas for Corporate Boards

    Nasdaq wants to require listed companies to include on their boards at least one woman and one person from an underrepresented racial minority or someone who is lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, gender-queer, or identifies with the myriad of sexual identities activists include under the rubric of “LGBTQ+.”

    Nasdaq, the second-largest U.S. stock exchange, filed a proposal with the Securities and Exchange Commission that would mandate listed companies to have a minimum of two “diverse directors,” including one who “self-identifies as female and one who self-identifies as either an underrepresented minority or LGBTQ+.”

    The practice of requiring a quota for preferred sexual orientations and racial groups could run afoul of U.S. laws prohibiting discrimination based on race and sex.

    Relative to baseline, impoverished environments lower IQ and enriched environments raise it.

    In related news, the new Treasury Department will be about fighting racism, climate change and gender disparity. You know, all the topics the US Treasury Department should be focused on.

    Do you really think that having one or two PC figure heads on a board is going to change things?
    This will be nothing but window dressing.
    If I'm a corporate headhunter, I've just been given a golden goose.

    Actually, the market will be more free for small business and the non-donor class. The rentier set has never actually been for free markets.
