Summary

Costco’s board rejected a shareholder proposal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, arguing they foster respect, innovation, and cultural alignment with customers and employees.

Shareholders claimed DEI could lead to lawsuits citing “illegal discrimination” against white, Asian, male, or straight employees, referencing legal cases like Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard.

Costco countered that its DEI efforts comply with the law and enhance its culture, rejecting claims of legal risk.

The proposal will be voted on at Costco’s January 23 shareholder meeting.

    I didn’t call you an idiot…?

    You’re the one talking about women’s utility as child bearers…?

    Not sure what just happened but this is not the “gotcha” you think it is. Have a good one dude. Learn what DEI is.

        Yes. Your opinions on gender and race are problematic doubly so as an educator, that’s how I feel. I did not call you an idiot. I never attacked your intelligence.

        Fuck off too I guess? I thought you were done with this conversation.
