FEHA at 60: Looking Back, Looking Forward
By Kevin Kish
Kevin Kish was appointed as Director of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH) in February 2015. DFEH is the largest state civil rights agency in the nation and is the institutional centerpiece of California’s commitment to protecting its residents from unlawful discrimination in employment, housing, and public accommodations, and from hate violence and human trafficking.
