Ford Motors on Wednesday became the latest company to step back from their Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies.
Companies have been changing their approaches to DEI initiatives after a Supreme Court ruling banned affirmative action from being considered in college admissions. Right-wing commentators and influencers have also pushed companies to revisit their policies.
The automaker said it has been taking a "fresh look" at its DEI policies over the past year, and has taken into consideration the "external and legal environment related to political and social issues."
