Nike's diversity programs spark federal discrimination probe
Business
Nike is under investigation by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) for allegedly discriminating against white employees, applicants, and trainees through its diversity programs.
The EEOC took legal action after Nike reportedly didn't provide requested info about these claims.
Case could reshape corporate diversity initiatives
The EEOC wants detailed data on Nike's workforce diversity, layoff decisions, and leadership programs that were allegedly limited by race.
This case could shape how companies handle diversity efforts in the future—making sure inclusion doesn't cross into unfair treatment.
Nike hasn't commented yet, but the outcome could set new standards for workplace equality.
