Episode Details

The EEOC is poised to scrap a 60-year-old rule requiring large companies to submit annual workforce diversity reports, a move backed by the Republican majority who argue it could fuel discrimination by encouraging quotas. Critics, including the lone Democratic commissioner and civil rights groups, say the data is essential for tracking discrimination and enforcing civil rights since 1964. Though companies may still collect internal data for legal protection, the EEOC will still demand it during investigations. This reversal marks a major policy shift, undoing decades of bipartisan oversight and sparking debate over how to measure and promote workplace equity.
