MLB removes 'diversity' from its career page in compliance with Trump DEI executive order

Major League Baseball (MLB) on Friday removed the word "diversity" from its career page, following President Donald Trump's executive order that aims to roll back diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies.

The removal comes after MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred launched a Diversity Pipeline Program in 2016, which led to the hiring of over 400 new employees, according to Fox News.

The MLB said its stance on diversity has not changed but that it is working to ensure its work follows federal law.

"Our values on diversity remain unchanged," the league said. "We are in the process of evaluating our programs for any modifications to eligibility criteria that are needed to ensure our programs are compliant with federal law as they continue forward."

The statement comes the same day an appeals court lifted a block on the president's executive orders ending federal support for DEI programs.
