The Burden on Businesses with DEI
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) present a challenging burden on businesses by requiring policy changes, new procedures, and the championing of social causes. Despite the high costs associated with implementing DEI, including consulting fees in the range of hundreds of thousands to millions, the benefits for companies remain questionable in both the short and long term. This unpopularity among conservative populations and the resistance faced by business leaders raise the question of why DEI continues to prevail as standard practice, particularly evident in American universities.
