LOS ANGELES (AP) — A Los Angeles judge has ruled that California’s landmark law requiring women on corporate boards is unconstitutional. Superior Court Judge Maureen Duffy-Lewis said the law that would have required boards have up to three female directors by this year violated the right to equal treatment.

They never issued a single fine since it was enacted. It was just for show, which is probably worse than no law at all.

I do think something like the Rooney Rule should be in place when it comes to high level corporate positions. The frequent lament about potentially unqualified minority candidates getting interviews or positions is kinda telling on the the people who make it. I don't think quotas are necessarily the way to handle it but is in the best interest of society to not have corporate executive culture almost entirely inhabited by men, and that group largely white.

Should've mandated the abolition of company boards altogether!

Let the workers control 2/3 the board and most problems will fix themselves.
