A group of Republican attorneys general from 13 states, led by Kansas and Tennessee, issued a warning letter to Fortune 100 companies following the Supreme Court's ruling against affirmative action, urging them to halt any race-based quotas or preferences in hiring, promotions, and contracting. Despite companies arguing that diversity is beneficial for business and experts highlighting that diversity initiatives usually aim at expanding applicant pools rather than preferring one race over another, the attorneys general are insisting that such practices may be considered discriminatory and thus illegal, prompting a significant response from businesses who are now seeking to avoid potential legal challenges.
