"The lawsuit, which spans 17 pages, was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, and accuses the outlet of having 'unlawful employment practices on the basis of race and/or sex,' arguing that the NYT's DEI policies jeopardized his chances."
"According to the court file, the man did get an interview for the job, but never made it to the final round. The people who did, however, included 'a white woman, a Black man, an Asian female and a multiracial female.'"
"'A decrease in the percentage of White male employees (whether new hires, existing employees or those in leadership, as appropriate) was a necessary consequence for the N.Y.T. to achieve these results,' the lawsuit reads."
The EEOC has filed a lawsuit against the New York Times, alleging unlawful employment practices favoring a woman over a white male candidate for a deputy editor role. The lawsuit claims that the NYT's diversity policies negatively impacted the man's chances. He interviewed for the position but did not reach the final round, which included candidates of diverse backgrounds. The lawsuit argues that the NYT's efforts to increase diversity led to a decrease in white male representation, which the plaintiff contends is discriminatory.
