Topics
Emily Peck和Simone Foxman讨论了美国企业DEI项目近年来面临的强烈抵制。抵制始于对批判性种族理论的反对,并逐渐演变成对DEI本身的攻击。最高法院废除大学录取中的平权行动,以及保守派活动家(如Edward Blum和Stephen Miller)的诉讼,导致许多公司取消或修改了其DEI项目,特别是那些针对特定弱势群体的项目。许多公司回应抵制的方式是采取“撤退模式”,即减少公开宣传DEI努力,但并未完全放弃DEI。一些公司修改了项目,使其对所有人开放,以建立更易于维护的防御体系,避免法律诉讼。与此同时,保守派智库(如曼哈顿研究所)也通过提供立法模式,影响了州一级的政策。一些保守派网红(如Robby Starbuck)通过在线活动和抵制威胁,也成功地促使一些公司减少了DEI项目。 虽然一些公司仍然致力于创造包容的工作环境,但他们也面临着在可见性和实际行动之间的平衡问题,以避免党派偏向和员工内部的反对。未来,特朗普政府可能会采取多种行动来限制DEI项目,包括发布行政命令、取消拜登政府的命令、加强对DEI项目的审查以及限制联邦承包商的DEI政策。这将对美国劳动力多样性和机会平等产生深远的影响。
