Over the last few months, federal policy-makers have engaged in what appears to be a highly-orchestrated campaign aimed directly at clamping down high-tech industry. The two agencies responsible for enforcing federal Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) laws have intensified their focus on the technology sector’s diversity, inclusion and affirmative action efforts in recent weeks, while members of Congress have begun demanding change.
In addition, the White House has coordinated two summits where the lack of diversity in the booming tech sector may further escalate federal policy makers’ interest. These recent and upcoming activities, which we have detailed below, appear to be laying the ground work for additional federal action.
