Corporate America Slowly Backs Away from ‘Diversity’ Language in Wake of Supreme Court Decision

American businesses have been moving away from using diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) language in the workplace after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in June, according to Bloomberg Law. 

The Supreme Court ruled that using race-based practices in college admissions “violate[s] the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment” in the highly awaited cases Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard and Students For Fair Admissions v. the University of North Carolina, according to the decision. An analysis of the previous quarter found that 3,000 Russell Index companies dropped the use of DEI language by 54 percent from last year, showing the steepest decline since 2018, according to Bloomberg Law.
