Leaders from some of the nation's top historically Black colleges and universities plan to meet virtually with Google CEO Sundar Pichai. The meeting was called to discuss the future relationship between HBCUs and google, in the wake of racism and sexism allegations made by two Black former employees. In December, ex-Google artificial intelligence researcher Timnit Gebru and former Google diversity recruiter April Curley both tweeted that they had been fired by the company after raising concerns about the lack of Black people working there and how those who currently work there are treated. Google contends that Gebru voluntarily resigned.
