I have served Adversity.Net's Treasurer and one of its Directors since 1999.

Adversity.Net is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt non-profit, educational organization dedicated to the elimination of prejudice and discrimination, and to the defense of human and civil rights secured by law.  It is a non-stock corporation organized in the State of Maryland.

Adversity.Net analyzes and distributes information to the public concerning affirmative action, minority and disadvantaged business programs, women-owned business programs, government contracting policies pertaining to same, race-based and gender-based aid programs, and, in general, discrimination based on age, race, ethnicity or gender.

Adversity.Net endeavors to broaden and inform the public debate of these issues through educational efforts pertaining to often overlooked facets of race, gender and ethnic discrimination.

The preponderance of information sources currently available on this topic examine these issues from the perspective of specific racial, gender and ethnic groups defined by the government as historically disadvantaged.

By extension, there is a great shortage of information regarding race, gender and ethnic discrimination against individuals who are not classified as "historically disadvantaged".

In the interest of fostering robust and informed debate about these crucial issues, Adversity.Net, Inc. supplies informational, educational and research materials on the topic to any and all interested citizens.

Adversity.Net operates as a charitable, educational, non-profit organization for the benefit of all citizens.   To that end, Adversity.Net's resources are available to any and all members of the general public, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, 365 days per year, via its Web Site on the Internet.

Also, please visit http://www.adversity.net/c16_tbd.htm to view a copy of the Fifth Amended Complaint filed in Diersen v. GAO along with GAO's answers to the age discrimination, reverse discrimination, and retaliation charges made in that complaint.  Judge St. Eve granted GAO's motion for summary judgment.  Sadly, my appeal of that decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit was not successful.  A copy of my June 3, 2004 brief is available on Download Files page.
