The Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has decided to eliminate its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs shortly after assuring staff of its ongoing commitment to these values. COO Marc Malandro announced that the organization will redirect its funding towards biology and AI instead of social advocacy grants focused on racial equity. This change also includes the cancellation of the Science Diversity Leadership Awards and the Diverse Slate Practice, reflecting a significant shift in CZI's operational focus amidst external pressures.
Given the shifting regulatory and legal landscape, we will no longer have a Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility team at CZI.
The changes at Meta don't impact operations at CZI, but now we need to align with our focus as a science philanthropy.
