Its purpose was to highlight a cohort of individuals working in video games as the bright, bold and inclusive future of the industry. Considering the widespread reach of the annual Keighley-led show, which saw an estimated 154m livestreams last year, Future Class felt like a genuine effort. Inductees were invited to attend the illustrious December ceremony, billed as gaming's Oscars, featured on the official Game Awards website, and promised networking opportunities and career advancement advice.

No question, antisemitism is real, resurgent and too often conflated with criticism of the Israeli government as it has destroyed Gaza to root out Hamas. But it beggars belief that the Trump administration is sincere when it demands UCLA pay the government more than $1 billion because, as it alleges, the school failed to protect Jewish students during pro-Palestinian protests in 2024, and engages in diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) practices. This is extortion, pure and simple.

The Daily Show Open Has A Career Suggestion: And we follow it up with a couple disclaimers.

"We are in an underresourced area, and males were probably more focused on [finding] immediate employment ... so we were trying to think about how to make sure we were doing the best we can to design a program that meets all of our service area's needs," said Kate O'Sick, the community college's dean for student affairs. "We weren't trying to exclude. There was no quota."

After years of pretending that no other qualities mattered in a politician besides one's race, sex, and sexuality, Democrats have discovered that competence and charisma, two traits without which candidates will fail, are far more important than whether you are black, gay, or non-binary. For the past few months, three of the Democratic Party's most beloved DEI stars have been taking arrows left and right from the very same party establishment that elevated their careers in the first place.

The death of George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020 became a catalyst for increased diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives across companies in the US and globally. However, recent years have seen growing criticism, reaching a peak earlier this year when Donald Trump signed a slew of executive orders rolling back DEI initiatives. "When hostility toward DEI grew louder, we didn't retreat," says Ricardo.

The hour-long event, viewed by thousands on the Advance Facebook Live platform, featured three prominent women leaders on Staten Island: Tatiana Arguello-Sabatelli, executive director of Nonprofit Staten Island; Jessica Phillips, CEO of Historic Richmond Town; and Jessica Baker Vodoor, president and CEO of Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Gardens. The panelists reflected on the experiences and values that shaped their leadership journeys-beginning with what first inspired them to step into leadership roles and what has sustained their motivation during difficult times.

Because at its core, growth isn't just about KPIs or quarterly results. Every success story begins with people. Building long-term impact in any industry requires investing in individuals both as professionals and as human beings. That is why the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion, alongside gender equality and personal development, must sit at the heart of ad tech's future.

The $17.2 billion Hudson River tunnel project -- which received more than $11 billion in federal grants -- is repairing an existing tunnel, and building a new one for passenger railroad Amtrak and state commuter lines between New Jersey and Manhattan. Any failure of the current Hudson tunnel, which was heavily damaged during 2012's Superstorm Sandy, would hobble commuting in the metropolitan area that produces 10% of the country's economic output.

President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced his administration had reached a deal with Harvard University after months of feuding. Early on in his second term, Trump sought to remove diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) initiatives by threatening to pull federal funding from any entity that makes use of them. That also went for universities across the country. Trump also tried to quell anti-Israel speech on college campus, which he conflated with anti-Semitism and pro-Hamas speech.

The stat that women receive less than 2% of VC funding is often cited-but that figure tells only part of the story.

There is a reason why the other armies of the world say we are the best on the globe. They are well trained, well-disciplined, and they swear an oath to the constitution. And I just really find it offensive that anyone is insulting them and claiming that it's their promotions and their advancements through the services are a result of policies or wokeness or DEI, because that's just not true.

The president and the Republican Party have launched a relentless campaign for what they call merit-based admissions and against any aspect of the holistic admissions process they've deemed a "proxy" for race. The question of whether admissions professionals can continue do their jobs under those circumstances was a constant undercurrent of the 2025 National Association for College Admission Counseling conference last week. But despite the concerns of attendees, the association and many panelists sent a clear message that all hope isn't lost for the admission process as we know it.

I'm not going to tie any of that to regulatory approval. I can tell you that we had been looking at late night, it was financially not viable.

C-SPAN Screenshot A combative Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) sparred with Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser (D) over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) language in the D.C. legal code on Thursday during a House Oversight Committee hearing about crime. The government of the District of Columbia under the leadership sitting in front of us today has become a poster child for DEI and gender madness, Mace began as those watching the proceedings audibly reacted.

We rarely engage in this type of action, but we're doing so here because Target betrayed promises to communities of color throughout the United States,

The cases the EEOC withdrew from included those brought on behalf of an Alabama hospitality group worker who alleged their manager said they needed to be "hidden" on the night shift before firing them outright; a transgender woman at an Illinois hog farm who said her coworker exposed his genitals to her and touched her breasts; and a transgender hotel worker in New York who said their supervisor referred to them as "transformer" and "it."

Civil rights leader Rev. Al Sharpton led thousands from across the country Thursday for March on Wall Street in protest of the Trump administration's withdrawal from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs three values that the president and his followers have eschewed. The massive Lower Manhattan march, coinciding with the 62nd anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous March on Washington in 1963, kicked off from Foley Square on the 62nd anniversary of the March on Washington.

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has faced a lot of backlash recently. Once celebrated as a win-win solution that tackled systemic injustice and boosted business performance, DEI has become politicized and scrutinized within an inch of its life. As it was happening, those of us working to advance DEI didn't adjust as the ground shifted beneath our feet. DEI was recast as an anti-meritocratic overreach that prioritized identity over skills or qualifications.

The order, which Trump is expected to sign on Monday, his first day in office, will direct the Office of Management and Budget and the Office of Personnel Management to coordinate with agencies to terminate all DEI programs in federal agencies, including environmental justice programs, equity related grants, equity action plans and equity initiatives, the official said.

As we approach the beginning of the new school year, first-year student orientations take place on college campuses to help students prepare academically, integrate into the institution's values and traditions, and build community. During orientation for first-year psychology doctoral students at my institution, I was immediately struck by the small number of Black students. Out of 34 first-year students, there appeared to be only one Black student, representing 2 percent of the cohort. The optics to me were quite alarming.

A new report from The Conference Board shows a sharp decline in usage of 'diversity,' 'racial,' 'gender,' or 'DEI.' Over a third of S&P 100 companies have stopped using the term 'equity' altogether.

The US Department of Veterans Affairs has demanded staffers report colleagues engaging in diversity initiatives and banned LGBTQ+ pride flags from VA hospitals.

"Any businesses that are looking for FCC approval, I would encourage them to get busy ending any sort of their invidious forms of DEI discrimination," Carr told Bloomberg in an interview.

"This notion that simply complying a little bit stops at the water's edge is antithetical to every history we have ever written, and it costs you."

They are not mad about the letters, they're mad about the mission. And unless you are changing your mission, you will not ease the attack.

This week's letter described the results of that internal review. 'First, the handful of T-Mobile employees who focused on diversity and inclusion will be redirected within Human Resources to focus on employee culture and engagement,' Nelson wrote in the letter to Carr.
