House Democrats press Google over report of scaled-back diversity efforts. (via NBCNews)
"Any suggestion that we have scaled back or cut our diversity efforts is entirely false," a Google spokesperson said. "Diversity, equity, and inclusion remains a company wide commitment and our programs are continuing to scale up."
"This new reporting has prompted a number of important questions that we outline in this letter. I look forward to engaging with Google at the highest-level to ensure they remain committed to promoting a diverse and inclusive corporate culture," she said. "It is troublesome to hear that Google, an industry leader, plans to scale back efforts to address their lack of diversity when you have previously stated a corporate commitment to improve in this very area," they said.
Google denied the company has limited conversations about diversity internally and pointed to the company's diversity report, which uses the word diversity in its title.
