Deloitte to pay $21.5 million to settle U.S. DOJ probe over DEI practices
Deloitte has agreed to pay $21.5 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice investigation into its diversity, equity, and inclusion practices. The settlement was reached under the DOJ's Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, part of the Trump administration's broader crackdown on DEI policies.
Accounting firm Deloitte will pay $21.5 million to settle a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) probe into its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. The settlement was reached through the DOJ's Civil Rights Fraud Initiative, a unit formed last year that uses a civil anti-fraud law to challenge DEI policies.
The Trump administration has targeted DEI practices in both public and private organizations, including government agencies and universities. The White House describes DEI as anti-merit and discriminatory against groups such as white people. Civil rights advocates argue DEI helps address historic inequities faced by women, the LGBT community, and ethnic minorities.
