McDonald’s is ending some of its diversity practices, citing a U.S. Supreme Court decision that outlawed affirmative action in college admissions.

Summary

McDonald’s is scaling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives following the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling against affirmative action and growing political backlash.

The company will end specific leadership diversity goals, pause supplier diversity programs, and halt participation in external surveys like the Human Rights Campaign’s workplace inclusion index.

Critics see the rollback as part of a broader trend among major corporations facing political pressure against DEI efforts.
