Meta's global policy chief, Joel Kaplan, emphasized that this shift is about ensuring the company focuses on hiring the most talented people, rather than basing decisions on protected characteristics. He stated, 'This is ultimately about doing what's best for our company and ensuring that we are serving everyone and building teams with the most talented people.' Kaplan stressed that hiring will now involve evaluating people as individuals and drawing from a diverse range of candidate pools.
With the U.S. Supreme Court's recent ruling against affirmative action in college admissions, many companies, including Meta and McDonald's, are re-evaluating their DEI initiatives. Critics of DEI argue that these programs are unfair, contending that opportunities should be equally accessible to all, regardless of race, gender, or sexual orientation. This shift signifies a growing pressure on corporations to conform to a more conservative approach regarding diversity-related hiring practices.
