Google Fires Employee Behind Controversial Diversity Memo

I don't know where everyone is reading their versions of the letter, but I don't think you could read the Gizmodo reprint and misrepresent the argument:

https://gizmodo.com/exclusive-heres-the-full-10-page-anti-di...

This is where I read up on it, and the letter was written very reasonably, IMO. That article also includes a response from google's brand new VP of Diversity, Integrity & Governance.

[EDIT] - original (as pointed out by the commenter below) is here: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586-Googles-Ideo...

Read that instead

Gizmodo removed the citations to scientific studies and also took out the images.

The original document is here (credit to lisper) https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586/Googles-I...

Thanks a lot. Citations are pretty much what I expected them to be, but it is good to know that good citations were made.

Thanks so much, couldn't find the original (can't say I tried very hard, all things considered).

It's unfair to assume Gizmodo intentionally removed those. Much more likely is whoever leaked it to them did so in plaintext.

In their article Gizmodo said they removed links. So no, not just plaintext.

Gizmodo said they were removed. Not that Gizmodo removed them.
