On Tuesday, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued the New York Times, accusing the newspaper of violating the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits discrimination based on race or sex.
The case, filed in federal court in Manhattan, alleges the newspaper’s diversity goals influenced its decision not to promote a white male employee to a real estate editor role. According to the suit, only nonwhite and female candidates were considered.
