T-Mobile has announced it will end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies in a letter to the Federal Communications Commission. The company stated it would eliminate all DEI-related roles and teams, and references on its website. This move comes as T-Mobile awaits FCC approval for two acquisitions valued over $4 billion. Other companies, including Salesforce and Amazon, have also retracted their DEI initiatives. While FCC Chair Brendan Carr supports this decision, it has drawn criticism from Commissioner Anna M. Gomez for undermining efforts to promote fairness and eliminate discrimination.
T-Mobile has informed the Federal Communications Commission that it's joining the long list of companies that are pulling back on diversity, equity, and inclusion - known as DEI - initiatives. The company said it would end its DEI-related policies "not just in name, but in substance," stating it would "no longer have any individual roles or teams focused on DEI" and would remove all references to the concept on its website.
Carr called the move "another good step forward for equal opportunity, nondiscrimination, and the public interest." Companies that have also pulled back on DEI practices include Salesforce, Amazon, Google, and Target.
Anna M. Gomez criticized T-Mobile's decision, stating, "In yet another cynical bid to win FCC regulatory approval, T-Mobile is making a mockery of its professed commitment to eliminating discrimination, promoting fairness, and amplifying underrepresented voices."
