Nike Faces Federal Probe Over Allegations of Discrimination
Nike is currently under federal investigation for allegedly discriminating against white employees through its diversity policies, according to the Associated Press. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) disclosed the investigation in a motion filed in Missouri federal court on Wednesday, demanding that Nike fully comply with a subpoena.
The EEOC's investigation stems from allegations that Nike's diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives have resulted in discrimination against white workers. The agency is seeking to ensure Nike's compliance with federal laws protecting workers' civil rights.
The investigation comes at a time when DEI initiatives are facing increased scrutiny across various sectors. As reported by NPR, some researchers worry that efforts to erase DEI will upend work on health disparity.
The EEOC's demand for compliance with the subpoena indicates the seriousness of the investigation and the agency's commitment to thoroughly examining the allegations against Nike. The outcome of the investigation could have significant implications for Nike's diversity policies and its workforce.
