Companies Cut Back DEI Programs Amid Trump Administration’s Anti-Diversity Push

The Trump administration’s anti-diversity push has led to companies across America cutting back on their diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs and eliminating them from public documents. The move comes after Attorney General Pam Bondi instructed the Department of Justice to investigate and penalize private sector companies that receive federal funds for having DEI programs deemed illegal.

Many corporations, including tech giants like Apple, Google, and Microsoft, have reduced or eliminated their DEI efforts. Some companies, such as Amazon and IBM, still maintain a commitment to diversity but are making changes to their existing programs.

The trend is also seen in the corporate world, with companies like McDonald’s and Walmart announcing rollbacks of their DEI policies. In contrast, some companies like Tesla and Elon Musk have been vocal critics of DEI initiatives and have largely eliminated them from their operations.

As the reaction to the government’s anti-diversity push continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how companies will adapt and navigate these changes.
