This Settlement marks the first instance where the DOJ has utilized the FCA to combat what it considers to be unlawful diversity, equity, and inclusion (“DEI”) practices after the DOJ announced its intent to utilize the FCA as such in May of 2025. This development, which employers receiving federal funding or operating as government contractors should especially be aware of, reflects the DOJ is holding true to its commitment to utilize the FCA to combat allegedly unlawful DEI practices in the private sector.”
