EEOC probes Nike over alleged white-employee discrimination linked to DEI

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed in federal court in Missouri to compel Nike to produce information in a federal investigation into alleged discrimination against white employees as part of Nike’s diversity, equity and inclusion programs. The EEOC emphasizes Title VII’s colorblind protections and says it is pursuing evenhanded enforcement, while Nike says it has cooperated extensively. The case comes amid ongoing DEI-policy scrutiny and related workplace-issue headlines from the era.
