GCI Defends Employment Policies to FCC Critical of DEI
Filing comes amid broader debate over merger reviews tied to workplace policies.
April 24, 2026 – GCI Communication Corp. defended its employment practices in a filing with the Federal Communications Commission, as the company faces growing scrutiny over its diversity policies.
In a letter submitted as part of an ongoing transaction review, GCI said it had reassessed its internal policies in early 2025 to align with recent federal directives.
The company stated it no longer maintains formal diversity, equity and inclusion programs, including a DEI council or executive role, and emphasized its commitment to nondiscriminatory hiring practices.
