Disney Softens Diversity Criteria Used to Determine Manager Pay

Walt Disney Co. is removing diversity from the criteria for determining manager compensation, saying leaders will now be assessed in part on how well they uphold company values and incorporate different perspectives.

Disney is also sunsetting the Reimagine Tomorrow inclusion program, which had drawn controversy. The conservative America First Legal Foundation filed a federal civil rights complaint against the company last year, claiming the program included directions for hiring that amounted to discrimination.
