Rooney Rule

The Rooney Rule is a policy in professional sports, mainly the NFL, that requires teams to interview at least one minority candidate for head coaching and senior executive positions. Its goal is to promote diversity and ensure opportunities for underrepresented groups in leadership roles. The rule encourages teams to broaden their search and consider a wider range of qualified candidates, helping to address historic disparities in hiring practices. While it doesn't guarantee hiring, the Rooney Rule aims to increase equal opportunity and representation at higher levels of decision-making.
