Corporations are currently navigating a challenging landscape regarding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies amid legal threats from the Trump administration. Following a directive from Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate illegal DEI practices, many firms face intense scrutiny. They are grappling with the complexities of maintaining DEI initiatives while avoiding potential lawsuits from either employees or the government. Key strategies on the chopping block include hiring targets and racial considerations in employment decisions, as companies reconsider the implications of these practices under current anti-discrimination laws.

The disappearing policies mostly involve explicitly targeting certain underrepresented groups in hiring, indicating the complexities and risks firms face with DEI practices.
