IBM Settles Anti-DEI Lawsuit

The DOJ accused IBM of implementing hiring practices that unfairly disadvantaged certain groups in favor of race-based quotas.

While the tech giant admitted no misconduct, it agreed to the penalty and to reform its internal DEI policies to comply with federal law.

The case is seen as a significant victory for the Trump administration's broader push against corporate DEI initiatives.

Other major corporations are now reportedly reviewing their own programs as the government ramps up its oversight of workplace diversity efforts.
