Comcast and Aramark in recent weeks have removed content from their websites related to diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, as companies in Philadelphia and across the country continue to grapple with the Trump administration’s crackdown on what it has called potentially illegal discrimination.
The two publicly traded companies also changed the job titles of key executives whose portfolios previously included overseeing DEI initiatives.
The changes at Comcast come after the Federal Communications Commission in February said it had launched an investigation into the media and telecommunications giant to ensure it is “not promoting invidious forms of discrimination.”

Comcast said in a statement to The Inquirer on Tuesday that in connection with the FCC’s ongoing inquiry, “we are making certain changes to reinforce our longstanding commitment to equal opportunity for all.”
‘Core value’
As recently as last week, Comcast described diversity, equity, and inclusion as “a core value of our business,” according to an archived version of its website: https://archive.ph/o/zsJuK/https://web.archive.org/web/20250424205939/https://corporate.comcast.com/impact/diversity-equity-inclusion
A since-removed page dedicated to DEI highlighted a demographic breakdown of its workforce, its commitment to “digital equity,” and diversity in its programming. The page also celebrated Comcast NBCUniversal’s score of 100 on an index that rates workplaces on policies and benefits pertinent to LGBTQ employees.
“We believe that a diverse, equitable, and inclusive company is a more innovative and successful one,” the website said.
Comcast’s website now features some of the same projects but describes them in different terms. Project UP, the company’s $1 billion initiative to connect tens of millions of people to the internet, aims to “advance digital opportunity,” the site says, scrapping the word equity.
The site also highlights the company’s efforts to “create an inclusive workplace for military teammates” and to make products accessible to people with disabilities.
Comcast has said it is cooperating with the FCC probe.
“For decades, our company has been built on a foundation of integrity and respect for our employees and customers,” the company said in the statement Tuesday. “Our business is stronger when we create an inclusive culture where all are welcome, differences are respected, all employees feel valued, and everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed.” …..
