SAN FRANCISCO — Over the last year, Apple, Google and other big technology companies have faced mounting criticism by civil rights leaders about the lack of diversity in their work forces, which are populated mostly by white and Asian men.

Now Intel, the giant chip maker, is taking more concrete steps to do something about it.

On Tuesday, Intel said the company’s work force would better reflect the available talent pool of women and underrepresented minority groups in the United States within five years. If successful, the plan would increase the population of women, blacks, Hispanics and other groups at Intel by at least 14 percent during that period, the company said.

In addition, Intel said it has established a $300 million fund to be used in the next three years to improve the diversity of the company’s work force, attract more women and minorities to the technology field and make the industry more hospitable to them once they get there. The money will be used to fund engineering scholarships and to support historically black colleges and universities

I like the Mickey D's cup knocked over on the interviewer's desk. LOL the fat HR too.

That's chump change considering how many employees they have working abroad. Intel closed many of their offices in California. That's the case with majority of the US based tech companies. Since they've gone global, the US can no longer have them hostage.

I have actually spoken with a couple of the top "fellows" at Intel years ago. Months later, Leo remembered my name. Intel does things better for the community than most places. This is nothing to laugh at. Why would people scoff at such an idea?

o people... Scholarships!
