The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has withdrawn its lawsuit to enforce a subpoena against Nike after telling a federal court that the company had handed over the requested information. U.S. District Judge Cristian Stevens in St. Louis, Missouri, dismissed the case after the agency said Nike had complied with demands for data including the racial and ethnic makeup of its workforce and lists of employees selected for mentoring and development programs. The underlying EEOC investigation remains open and is examining whether Nike intentionally discriminated against white employees and job applicants, including by disproportionately targeting them for layoffs. Nike had previously called the court action a surprising and unusual escalation while denying any discrimination. The case is part of a broader push by President Donald Trump and appointees including EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas to scrutinize workplace diversity, equity and inclusion programs, which critics say can amount to reverse discrimination and supporters say expand opportunity for historically disadvantaged groups.
