Google Scales Back DEI Policies Following Trump Administration Directives

The tech giant joins other major corporations in reevaluating diversity initiatives after new executive orders target DEI programs in government and private sectors.

• Google announced it will no longer set hiring targets for diverse representation and is reviewing its DEI programs to comply with recent executive orders.
• President Trump signed orders to eliminate DEI practices across federal agencies and contractors, framing them as discriminatory and wasteful.
• Other corporations, including Meta, Amazon, and McDonald’s, have similarly reduced DEI efforts in response to shifting political and legal landscapes.
• Attorney General Pam Bondi directed the Justice Department to investigate and penalize companies and universities for alleged discriminatory DEI practices.
• Critics of the rollback argue that DEI initiatives have improved workplace diversity, while supporters claim they conflict with merit-based systems.
