"For Facebook, the move on outside lawyers is happening even as the company’s efforts at improving diversity in its own work force have so far shown little progress. According to statistics released last year, blacks and Hispanics last July accounted for only 3 percent each of senior leadership, and women made up an additional 27 percent. Hiring for the 12 months beginning with July 2015 showed something of an improvement: Of those newly recruited to senior leadership posts, 9 percent were black, 5 percent were Hispanic and 29 percent were women." I guess Asian- and Jewish-Americans aren't diverse enough to be mentioned. The latter aren't even diverse enough to be included in the reported statistics, despite Zuckerberg himself being Jewish. And of course the fact that whites are under-represented at Facebook goes unmentioned - they are only over-represented in senior leadership, with 71% vs the general US population of 63%.
