Reuters Exclusive: Corporate America faces DEI reckoning in 2026, EEOC chair says
By David Hood-Nuño and Bianca Flowers December 19, 202510:16 AM CSTUpdated 10 hours ago

WASHINGTON, Dec 19 (Reuters) - Federal inquiries into corporate diversity programs are underway, signaling a major shift in civil rights enforcement under President Donald Trump's administration, the head of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission told Reuters Thursday.

Andrea Lucas, the EEOC chair, said companies that factor race, sex or other protected characteristics into employment decisions under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act could face enforcement actions or litigation. She confirmed that inquiries are in progress and warned that initiatives tied to hiring, promotion, or marketing may come under scrutiny. Lucas declined to share which companies are facing scrutiny.

"My goal is to shift to a conservative view of civil rights," said Lucas, the head of the Trump administration's top anti-discrimination workforce enforcer, in a wide-ranging interview with Reuters.

Lucas's vision for the workplace discrimination agency entails "attacking" all forms of race discrimination, including DEI; "attacking widespread" religious liberty issues like antisemitism and Covid-19 vaccine mandates; "pushing back" on gender identity and focusing on women's sex-based rights; and "national origin discrimination," protecting all American workers.

Lucas told Reuters that enforcement may target a host of initiatives companies have deployed to create, cater to or advertise to any race or gender-based group, including employee resource groups designed to be safe spaces where employees can speak candidly.

"If you have a DEI program or any employee program that involves taking an action in whole or in part motivated by race or sex or any other protected characteristic, that's unlawful," Lucas said.....

What is doubly appropriate about that pairing is you chose a picture of Trump at TPUSA -- which means you catch the symbol above him of the 180 turn away from the regression and ruin of prior represented by 2024.

Does this mean black/white will no longer be considered the default American couple for the sake of commercials?

One day we will look back on woke DEI and transgender non-sense the way we now look at segregation in 50s.

So, we are going to try and return to actual civil rights where we have actual equal opportunity and not have racial quotas which are, by default, racist.

Good I'm tired of management asking me if the woman or minority I interviewed can do the job even when they are less qualified then the person I suggested to hire.

DEI is simply giving preference to demographics that vote Democrat

Like any 3rd world regime where loyalty to the party rather than competence is what gets you a position or job

At least they ask you. I'm aware of at least one employer that implemented racial hiring committees. If you make it past the initial interview rounds, you have to interview with a racially mixed committee from the department you are applying to so they can ensure you are the right fit. Anything to roadblock white people IOW.

Not sure if they still do this under Trump 2.0 but it was done under Biden.

DEI is discrimination and just like racism. Must go.

I don't even like the push given to women in colleges and jobs. The women who reach the top are mostly useless and rely on men to do the work while they get to preen and be a girl-boss. I have seen this myself. I tell my wife this and she gets mad but that is the truth.

Make it illegal to discriminate based on anything but merit.

THAT actually is a very big part of it. The quickest way to see an example is to notice how disinterested the Bidneites were on admitting Cubans, who tend lately to be more like Cruz and pro freedom and liberty, rather than Haitians and such.

Their motive is not unconditional or driven by `caring' -- they expect them to join the Left plantation and vote for it. If you told them all were going to vote MAGA, they would abolish those preferences and slam the borders shut in a blink.

Some of us already do.

I'd be fully willing to toss a former employer under the bus for discriminatory female and minority preferencing.

I believe the biggest discrimination in the American workplace is age discrimination. If anyone has the patience, perseverance, and a great lawyer who wants to make a transformational difference go pick any large US based multinational corporation and start digging.

I wish my company would do away with DEI but they are 1000% in. It's a disgrace that they have it still and just give it new names.

I don't care how bad of a recession this causes, companies that can be proven to have participated in this need to be smote with the fist of an angry God. Total destruction, salt the earth, leave nothing but a smoldering crater.

Desperately trying to but the job market for a mid 40s male is pretty tough.
