McDonald’s Scales Back Diversity Initiatives After Supreme Court Affirmative Action Ruling

According to the Associated Press, McDonald’s is scaling back some of its diversity initiatives following the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision outlawing affirmative action in college admissions.

The fast-food giant announced it would retire specific diversity goals for senior leadership and end a program encouraging suppliers to develop diversity training and increase minority representation in leadership.

McDonald’s also plans to pause “external surveys,” a move mirrored by other companies like Lowe’s and Ford, which declined to participate in the Human Rights Campaign’s workplace inclusion survey for LGBTQ+ employees.

Despite these changes, McDonald’s insists it remains committed to inclusion, noting that 30% of its U.S. leaders are from underrepresented groups and that it has achieved gender pay equity since 2021.
