City defends $147000 DEI study amid protests
Hendersonville leaders respond to critics who call the diversity, equity and inclusion DEI effort a solution looking for a problem. Ahkirah Legal and Diversity Consultants summarized findings after six months of interviews, department head input, and community listening sessions. The report advised updates to hiring, training, communication, and inclusion practices and prompted public objection at a city council workshop. See DEL page 3.
