Duquesne Light announced Thursday the creation of a new diversity strategy with the company’s first chief diversity officer: Sara Oliver-Carter. She starts Aug. 19.

Oliver-Carter will focus on company culture, community partnerships and diversifying the suppliers with which Duquesne Light partners.

“Our commitment to diversity and inclusion and its importance to our company, employees, customers and communities is unwavering,” Steve Malnight, Duquesne Light president and CEO, said in a statement.

“Sara brings exceptional leadership experience and her approach to creating a company culture that truly values the uniqueness of its employees, customers and suppliers will add tremendous value as we continue to expand programs and initiatives in this critical area.”

Oliver-Carter has more than 20 years of experience in human resources. According to her LinkedIn account, Oliver-Carter served as senior director for talent and diversity and inclusion for Penn State University since 2017. Before Penn State, Oliver-Carter worked in various human resources positions at Highmark, including vice president of diversity and inclusion.

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Duquesne Light has nearly 1,500 employees and serves roughly 600,000 customers in Allegheny and Beaver counties.

That cinches it. We're all going to be sitting around in the dark for sure.

(not to mention that journalism apparently now consists of peeking at someone's LinkedIn page)

The great hypocrisy of “diversity officer” positions are that they are 99% filled by blacks.

"Oliver-Carter"

That says it all!

The Slovenian or Romanian (forget which) translation would be "Faggot-Loving"

Penn State HR has a good track record on "fairness" and protecting the protected classes. Didn't they throw out some students who called two fat girls Hippos or something?

This reminds me of the “Political Officers” they embedded everywhere in the Soviet Union.

Sounds like a job for James O’Keefe.
Send a bunch of white guys around to apply for
Diversity Officer jobs and then secretly record
the reactions.

Don’t they get it? “diversity officer” has nothing to with the mission of the company, to produce and deliver electricity.

Hearing reports that some companies that have been around for years are now making safe space rooms for their fruits and weirdos.
