Dismantling DEI: A Shift in Corporate and Government Dynamics

This chapter examines the new administration's decision to dismantle Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, particularly in the federal government and military. It highlights the ripple effect on major corporations as they reassess their DEI commitments amidst political shifts, featuring responses from companies like Costco and the contrasting stance of a bank leader defending diversity efforts. The discussion also raises concerns about the impact of these changes on underrepresented groups and the future of inclusive practices in corporate settings.
