"The lawsuit claims that the employee met all requirements for the Deputy Real Estate Editor position, including experience with real estate journalism, yet was not selected as a finalist."
"The complaint alleges that the unlawful employment practices were done with malice or with reckless indifference to the employee's federally protected rights."
"The lawsuit faults the Times for its diversity efforts, stating that increasing the percentage of non-White leaders would necessarily decrease the percentage of White leaders."
The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission has filed a lawsuit against the New York Times, alleging discrimination against a white male employee who was passed over for a promotion. The employee, who has worked at the Times since 2014, claims he was more qualified for the deputy real estate editor position but was not selected due to the Times' diversity initiatives. The lawsuit argues that the Times' efforts to increase diversity in leadership resulted in the exclusion of qualified white male candidates, violating the employee's rights.
