The FCC, led by Chairman Brendan Carr, is investigating The Walt Disney Company and ABC Network for compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations amid concerns about their hiring practices related to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Carr's inquiry follows Disney's previous controversies with political figures regarding DEI initiatives. While Disney has shown commitment to diversity in hiring, Carr's investigation seeks to ensure that these practices do not violate FCC regulations concerning discrimination. Disney has agreed to cooperate with the investigation as it seeks to clarify its employment policies.
"Carr ordered the inquiry amid suspicions Disney and ABC are hiring new staff based on 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusion' (DEI) practices."
"Carr says he wants to be sure Disney is not violating FCC regulations 'by promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination.'"
