Hundreds of Google employees have signed
an online petition protested Gebru’s departure.
Mitchell, though, was even more outspoken in
a Jan. 19 tweet t hat insinuated that a meeting
company CEO Sundar Pichai had scheduled with
the leaders of historically Black colleges and
universities was merely window dressing.
Google said Mitchell was fired after an internal
investigation concluded she had broken
multiple company policies. The violations
included the unauthorized removal of
confidential company documents and other
private information about its employees,
according to Google’s statement.
