The Trump administration is now actively questioning the diversity, equity, and inclusion policies of 20 major law firms, highlighting its critical view of such practices. Letters sent by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission assert that while firms aim to recruit more people of color, they may unintentionally discriminate against white candidates. This scrutiny forms part of Trump's broader campaign against firms perceived to be hostile to his administration. The EEOC, led by Andrea R. Lucas, emphasizes its commitment to enforcing civil rights laws in all sectors, including elite law firms.
The E.E.O.C. is prepared to root out discrimination anywhere it may rear its head, including in our nation's elite law firms, Andrea R. Lucas stated.
The letters come amid Mr. Trump's recent retribution campaign against several prominent law firms, which the president has accused of carrying out harmful activity.
President Trump has taken aggressive measures to eliminate D.E.I. efforts, which he has called illegal and immoral discrimination programs.
The commission expressed concern that, in trying to recruit more individuals of color, some firms may have inadvertently discriminated against white candidates.
