Transportation Secretary Launches Investigation Into FAA DEI Hiring Allegations

Sean Duffy announces inquiry into claims that minority candidates were given unfair advantages during FAA hiring under Obama-era policies.

Audio from 2014 obtained by The Daily Mail allegedly reveals a DEI activist assisting minority candidates with FAA exam answers.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has ordered an investigation into whether diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices compromised FAA hiring standards.
The Obama administration reportedly shifted FAA hiring criteria to prioritize diversity, replacing cognitive tests with biographical questionnaires.
Critics argue these practices may have excluded white candidates and prioritized DEI goals over safety and merit-based hiring.
The investigation follows resurfaced allegations and ongoing legal challenges regarding discriminatory hiring practices at the FAA.
