WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 The Trump administration is filing a lawsuit against The New York Times<\/a> due to its employment practices.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit was filed in New York.<\/a><\/p>\n

The lawsuit alleges that the newspaper didn\u2019t hire a qualified white man who applied to work there due to the company\u2019s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) goals, according to the Politico news outlet.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cA necessary consequence of NYT\u2019s intent to increase the percentage of non-White leaders would be a decrease in the percentage of White leaders,\u201d the lawsuit reads.<\/p>\n

The journalist who was allegedly discriminated against is not named in the lawsuit.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no such thing as \u2018reverse discrimination\u2019; all race or sex discrimination is equally unlawful, according to long-established civil rights principles,\u201d EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas said.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for The New York Times said that the newspaper practices merit-based recruiting when hiring writers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe allegation centers on a single personnel decision for one of over 100 deputy positions across the newsroom, yet the EEOC\u2019s filing makes sweeping claims that ignore the facts to fit a predetermined narrative,\u201d Rhoades Ha said in a statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON (TNND) \u2014 The Trump administration is filing a lawsuit against The New York Times due to its…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":302872,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[151,153,152],"class_list":["post-302871","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield","tag-bakersfield-headlines","tag-bakersfield-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302871","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=302871"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/302871\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/302872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=302871"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=302871"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=302871"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
