DEI is a framework for fair treatment & full participation by all people. There is currently political & legal pressure against these programs, under the belief that demographic characteristics are being used rather than individual merit for companies making hiring & promotion decisions. Your conscience & common sense must be your guide in whether or not to support companies courageously continuing to support DEI programs under these adverse circumstances.
