IBM settles its DEI lawsuit with the DOJ for $17 million
IBM has agreed to a $17 million settlement with the US Department of Justice to resolve allegations of violating civil rights laws through its Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices. The DOJ accused IBM of considering race, color, national origin, or sex in employment decisions, including altering interview criteria and using diversity modifiers for bonus compensation. IBM denies wrongdoing, stating the settlement is not an admission of liability.
