NPR reports that EEOC chair Andrea Lucas is redirecting the agency toward aggressive scrutiny of DEI, including outreach to white men and enforcement actions framed around anti-white or anti-male bias, while former EEOC officials warn that the shift repurposes a civil-rights agency into an ideological project. βWe are the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, not the Equitable Employment Outcomes Commission.β βThe only lawful way to stop discrimination on the basis of race or sex, is to stop discriminating on the basis of race or sex.β βAre you a white male whoβs experienced discrimination at work based on your race or sex?β Andrea Lucas, EEOC chair, as quoted by NPR βCivil rights enforcement should never be a partisan political game.β βYou can absolutely create a lawful diversity, equity and inclusion program that benefits everybody.β Charlotte Burrows, former EEOC chair, as quoted by NPR
