Robby Starbuck targets JPMorgan over diversity policies as CEO defends initiatives

Conservative activist Robby Starbuck has targeted JPMorgan Chase for its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. He criticized the bank's employee training on gender identity and accused it of using illegal hiring quotas. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon responded, expressing readiness to confront activist efforts against DEI. He reaffirmed the bank's commitment to its DEI initiatives and stated that they would ensure compliance with evolving laws. Starbuck's campaign reflects a broader trend, as several companies have scaled back their DEI efforts amid increasing political scrutiny. Other activist groups are also pushing for changes in DEI practices at major banks.
