SAN FRANCISCO: The federal communications commission (FCC) will investigate diversity efforts at the Walt Disney Company, the head of the US agency said today.
Disney and its subsidiary ABC are being targeted as part of the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programmes at government agencies and private companies, FCC chairman Brendan Carr said in a letter to the entertainment giant.
US President Donald Trump picked Carr to head the FCC.
“I am concerned that ABC and its parent company have been and may still be promoting invidious forms of DEI in a manner that does not comply with FCC regulations,” Carr wrote in the letter, a copy of which he shared on X, formerly Twitter.

Disney made a priority of promoting race and gender diversity across its operations in recent years, and “apparently did so in a manner that infected many aspects of your company’s decisions”, Carr wrote in a letter addressed to chief executive Robert Iger.
