What Congress Needs to Know About DEI (but Doesn’t Want to Hear)
UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – The Federal Communications Commission has pressured companies to drop diversity, equity, and inclusion programs as a condition for merger approvals, influencing corporate policies nationwide.
- T-Mobile announced earlier this month that it would dismantle its DEI programs while seeking FCC approval for major acquisitions.
- This follows President Donald Trump's January executive order dismantling federal DEI initiatives and the FCC's use of merger approvals to enforce policy compliance.
- Verizon also ended its DEI programs in May to gain FCC approval for a $20 billion broadband deal, joining others facing consumer boycotts and shareholder opposition.
- A Gallup poll conducted in February showed that more than 60% of Americans favor companies promoting workforce diversity, while close to 70% of investors believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts help lower business risks and enhance long-term success.
- Despite federal pressures and some corporate pullbacks, most firms retain DEI commitments due to investor backing and market forces, showing a split between public policy and private sector trends.
