Antitrust Bar Notably Lacks Diversity, Says FTC Chief of Staff

The antitrust bar being especially lacking in diversity is problematic, said Elizabeth Wilkins, chief of staff to FTC Chair Lina Khan, Thursday at an FCBA Diversity Pipeline event. She said the agency has been thinking about diverse recruitment issues for its staff, with pipeline programs like the FCBA's being an important tool. Keynoting at the event, American Association of Public Broadband Executive Director Gigi Sohn discussed her career and alluded to but didn't directly discuss her failed nomination for FCC commissioner.
