Following backlash for removing their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, Google cited the Trump administration's "legal directions" but insists that the company still cares about diversity efforts.
After being sent more than 100 questions about the company's decision to roll back their goals connected to DEI, Melonie Parker, Google's former head of diversity, said at a staff meeting that they decided to review company programs after President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders banning DEI programs from federal agencies, as reported by The Guardian.
