After the Supreme Court's ruling in 2023 that affirmative action programs in colleges were unconstitutional, many corporations responded by re-evaluating and, in some cases, limiting their DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) efforts. The ruling prompted concerns among many organizations about the future of their DEI initiatives, leading some to reconsider their commitments to diversity and potentially scale back their programs or shift focus in ways that align with the legal landscape. However, responses varied significantly among corporations, with some choosing to double down and find new ways to promote diversity without relying on affirmative action frameworks. Overall, the reactions were mixed, reflecting differing corporate philosophies and strategies regarding DEI initiatives amidst the changing legal context.
