the #FCC required Verizon to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies as a condition for approving its $20 billion merger with Frontier. The FCC explicitly cited #Verizon’s commitment to terminate DEI-related practices as part of its rationale for granting approval. Verizon agreed to remove DEI references from #training, #public materials, hiring, #management compensation, and #supplier diversity, and to dismantle its internal DEI team.
