Paramount Rolling Back DEI Initiatives While Seeking Federal Approval for Merger
The news comes as Paramount seeks federal approval for a merger with Skydance.
Paramount announced that they are changing their diversity, equity, and inclusion policies to comply with the Trump administration’s new mandates. Employees received a memo Wednesday from Paramount co-CEOs George Cheeks, Chris McCarthy and Brian Robbins, which stated “some of our policies must change to comply with these new mandates.” Paramount will “longer set or use aspirational numerical goals related to the race, ethnicity, sex or gender of hires,” and will only collect data on applicant race, ethnicity, sex or gender data in states which require it by law. These changes echo similar ones at Disney and Amazon to comply with the Trump administration’s crusade against Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
