Google scraps diversity 'aspirations,' citing role as federal contractor

Google said it's been reevaluating diversity programs over the last year.

Google is scrapping its diversity goals, becoming the latest tech giant to alter its approach to hiring and promotions following the election of President Donald Trump.

In its annual report published on Wednesday, Alphabet excluded language from prior years stating that, "we are committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do and to growing a workforce that is representative of the users we serve."

Fiona Cicconi, Alphabet's chief people officer, told employees in a memo that the company has to make changes due to new requirements.
