Top Wells Fargo story from The Arizona Republic: Wells Fargo CEO apologizes for stupid diversity comment. Now, let’s see if he’s genuine

Wells Fargo CEO Charles Scharf has apologized for saying there weren’t enough qualified Black candidates to improve the diversity at his company.

“It’s clear to me,” he wrote in a memo, “that, across the industry, we have not done enough to improve diversity, especially at senior leadership levels.”

The apology isn’t enough, of course. But it’s certainly an important first step.
