Paramount has announced significant changes to its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, rolling back initiatives to align with the Trump administration's recent mandates. This includes eliminating aspirational hiring goals based on race or gender and offering no DEI qualitative metrics for incentive plans. These modifications reflect a broader trend seen in companies like Disney and Amazon amidst a political shift. Furthermore, as Paramount seeks FCC approval for its merger with Skydance, the ongoing Trump lawsuit against CBS News could impact the decision significantly.
"some of our policies must change to comply with these new mandates."
Paramount will "longer set or use aspirational numerical goals related to the race, ethnicity, sex or gender of hires."
These changes echo similar ones at Disney and Amazon to comply with the Trump administration's crusade against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
the Trump-appointed FCC chairman, Brendan Carr, has said the lawsuit will most likely play a factor in whether the merger is approved.
