In the wake of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision against affirmative action in college admissions, prominent companies have withdrawn or modified their diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Influenced by conservative activists, organizations such as Target have ceased programs aimed at supporting marginalized communities, which they previously established post-2020 protests following George Floyd's death. Target's changes include discontinuing hiring practices favoring underrepresented groups and withdrawing from evaluations like those from the Human Rights Campaign, indicating a significant retreat from previously embraced DEI commitments.
Target has announced significant changes to its Belonging at the Bullseye strategy, including the termination of its DEI goals and programs aimed at supporting Black employees.
In the aftermath of the Supreme Court decision banning affirmative action, numerous firms are revisiting their diversity, equity and inclusion commitments largely in response to conservative pushback.
