S&P 500 Companies and Diversity Goals

According to Just Capital's 2023 Corporate Racial Equity Tracker, 68% of S&P 500 companies published diversity, equity, and inclusion reports in 2023. These reports typically include:

• Public commitments to increase representation of specific racial and gender groups
• Hiring targets and demographic goals
• Detailed tracking of workforce composition by race and gender

Hiring Discrimination: Resume Audit Studies

The landmark study by Marianne Bertrand and Sendhil Mullainathan (2004) sent identical resumes to employers, varying only the names to suggest different racial backgrounds. The study found:

• Resumes with white-sounding names (Emily, Greg, etc.) received 50% more callbacks than resumes with Black-sounding names (Lakisha, Jamal, etc.)
• This discrimination occurred across all industries and job types studied
• The effect was equivalent to an additional 8 years of work experience for white applicants

While this study examined discrimination against Black applicants, similar patterns have been documented in contexts where diversity goals prioritize certain groups over white male candidates.

Ivy League Race-Conscious Admissions

Prior to the 2023 Supreme Court decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, all eight Ivy League universities used race as a factor in their admissions decisions:

• Harvard University
• Yale University
• Princeton University
• Columbia University
• University of Pennsylvania
• Brown University
• Dartmouth College
• Cornell University

The Supreme Court case specifically involved Harvard and the University of North Carolina, but the decision affected all universities that used race-conscious admissions policies. The Court held that race-based admissions programs violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Following the decision, many elite universities, including Ivy League schools, have seen declines in Black student enrollment. For example, Princeton University's Black freshman share fell to 5% in 2025, its lowest since 1968.
