Other employees requesting management to shut down a group asking for diversity suggests that there is a problem with diversity. They think that they're a majority and that management would be receptive to such a request. Of course management refuse to take action. They're already under public scrutiny and it seems the rebels have just expressed their desire to speak, they haven't spoken yet, so it would be a little harsh to crush them so soon.
