Nike Faces Federal Probe Over Discrimination Claims
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is investigating Nike for alleged discrimination against white employees through its diversity policies. This investigation, initiated by an EEOC commissioner’s charge, stems from Nike’s publicly stated diversity goals and programs. Nike has stated it is cooperating with the EEOC but finds the subpoena an unusual escalation, asserting its practices comply with all applicable laws. The agency, under Chair Andrea Lucas, has been actively targeting diversity and inclusion policies perceived as potentially discriminatory.
