FCC Chair Launches Investigation into Disney Over Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Practices

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has announced the launch of an investigation into The Walt Disney Company and its ABC subsidiary, focusing on the company’s Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) practices.

FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said the probe aims to determine whether Disney’s DEI initiatives comply with FCC equal employment opportunity regulations.

Chairman Carr’s investigation centers on concerns that Disney’s DEI efforts may constitute what he referred to as “invidious forms of discrimination.”

In a letter to Disney CEO Bob Iger, posted publicly on X, Carr wrote, “I want to ensure that Disney and ABC have not been violating FCC equal employment opportunity regulations by promoting invidious forms of DEI discrimination.”

I have asked the @FCC’s Enforcement Bureau to open an investigation into Disney & ABC.

While Disney started as an iconic American company, it recently went all in on DEI.

“Although your company recently made some changes to how it brands certain efforts, it is not clear that the underlying policies have changed in a fundamental manner — nor that past practices complied with relevant FCC regulations,” Carr continued.

Carr’s letter further noted, “In order to aid the FCC’s investigation into these matters, the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau will be engaging with your company to obtain an accounting of Disney and ABC’s DEI programs, policies, and practices.”

The investigation follows Disney’s recent scaling back of certain DEI initiatives, including the termination of its “Reimagine Tomorrow” program, which aimed to “amplify underrepresented voices.”

Despite some changes, Carr pointed to an alleged creation of “racially-segregated affinity groups and spaces” and ABC’s “inclusion standards” which mandate that 50 percent of regular characters must be from “underrepresented groups.”

In February, Carr initiated similar investigations into Comcast, the parent of NBCUniversal, and Verizon.

Disney issued a brief statement in response to the FCC letter, which read as follows: “We are reviewing the Federal Communications Commission’s letter, and we look forward to engaging with the commission to answer its questions.”
