Bofa Scraps Diversity Goals Amid Trump Administration
BofA has scrapped some of its diversity initiatives as it navigates a new business climate under U.S. President Donald Trump, dropping references to its diversity hiring goals and a rule requiring hiring managers to consider a diverse group of candidates in an effort to align with the new administration's stance on diversity, equity and inclusion. The bank's policies reflect a broader trend among companies to soften their commitment to DEI programs following Trump's election. By doing so, BofA is seeking to avoid potential regulatory backlash and maintain its focus on attracting clients and shareholders.
- This shift in approach underscores the complex relationship between corporate America and government policy, highlighting the challenges faced by businesses in adapting to changing regulatory environments.
- How will the long-term impact of this policy shift affect the representation and opportunities available for historically underrepresented groups within BofA's workforce and client base?
