"The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, brings claims on behalf of a white man who alleges that his race and sex factored into his denial for a promotion at the newspaper in early 2025, a violation of Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act."
"According to a press release from the EEOC, The New York Times excluded a white man with extensive experience in real estate journalism, out of its final panel interviews for a vacant Deputy Real Estate Editor position and every candidate who advanced through to the final interview process was not a white male."
"EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas said the commission will not pull punches in the enforcement of Title VII under her leadership, stating, 'No one is above the law - including elite institutions.'"
"'There is no such thing as reverse discrimination; all race or sex discrimination is equally unlawful,' according to long-established civil rights principles."
The EEOC has initiated a federal lawsuit against The New York Times, claiming discriminatory hiring practices against white men. The lawsuit is based on a white male editor's denial of promotion, alleging that his race and sex influenced the decision. The EEOC's press release states that the newspaper excluded him from final interviews for a Deputy Real Estate Editor position, hiring a less qualified non-white female candidate instead. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas emphasized the commission's commitment to enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act against all forms of discrimination.
