波音公司为解决 737 MAX 致命坠机事故调查而达成的认罪协议被得克萨斯州联邦法官拒绝，原因是在选择外部监控员时需要考虑多样性。里德·奥康纳法官担心多样性、公平性和包容性 (DEI) 因素可能会损害监察员的客观性。司法部对 DEI 在监察员选择中的作用的不同解释进一步引起了法官的怀疑。奥康纳强调，选择应完全基于能力，并敦促波音公司和司法部讨论进一步的步骤。

Boeing's plea deal with federal prosecutors, aimed at resolving the US Justice Department's investigation into the 737 MAX fatal crashes that claimed 346 lives over a five-month span in 2018 and 2019, was rejected by a federal judge in Texas on Thursday due to an alarming DEI provision.

According to a Wall Street Journal report, US District Judge Reed O'Connor rejected the plea deal, stating that it improperly constrained the court by requiring diversity considerations in the selection of an outside monitor to oversee Boeing's future legal compliance.

O'Connor wrote that DoJ prosecutors gave him "shifting and contradictory explanations" of the role DEI would play in shaping the selection of a monitor:

"In a case of this magnitude, it is in the utmost interest of justice that the public is confident this monitor selection is done based solely on competency."
