Multiple Investigations Launched into Discrimination at Harvard and NYC Department of Education

The Department of Education (DOE) has initiated an investigation into Harvard University following allegations of antisemitism on its campus. The inquiry was prompted by a complaint stating that the school failed to address reports of harassment incidents involving Jewish and Israeli students during the Israel-Hamas conflict. Harvard is among several institutions under investigation for potential violations of federal law prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, or national origin. The DOE's investigation comes amid heightened concerns about antisemitism on college campuses, with Harvard's president and other university leaders called to testify before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

Bowlero Executive Addresses Discrimination Probe Amid Rapid Growth

Bowlero's outgoing CFO, Brett Parker, publicly denied allegations of employment discrimination and commented on the ongoing EEOC investigation during an earnings call. The company is facing a federal discrimination probe involving at least 73 former employees who claim they were fired based on their age or out of retaliation. The EEOC has found reasonable cause in 55 of those cases, sparking a larger pattern or practice probe. Bowlero's CEO is accused of directing staff to fire aging employees and replace them with candidates perceived as young and hip. The case is expected to go to court, where Bowlero could face steep fines.
