美国平等就业机会委员会于周二对《纽约时报》提起诉讼，指控这家媒体公司未考虑一名白人男性员工的晋升资格，违反了联邦法律。
据平等就业机会委员会称，《纽约时报》未提拔该员工是因其种族和性别，该机构认为这违反了1964年《民权法案》第七章。该法案禁止基于种族、肤色、宗教、性别或国籍的就业歧视。
“没有人能凌驾于法律之上——包括‘精英’机构。根据长期确立的民权原则，不存在‘反向歧视’一说；任何基于种族或性别的歧视都同样违法，”平等就业机会委员会主席安德里亚·卢卡斯在一份声明中说道。
“联邦法律明确规定：全部或部分出于种族或性别动机做出雇佣或晋升决定，均违反联邦法律。这一规则没有任何多样性例外情况，”她补充道。
“出于政治动机的攻击？”
《纽约时报》高级副总裁兼通讯主管丹妮尔·罗兹·哈驳斥了平等就业机会委员会的诉讼。
“《纽约时报》坚决拒绝特朗普政府时期的平等就业机会委员会提出的这些出于政治动机的指控，”她在一份声明中表示。“我们的雇佣制度基于能力，致力于招聘和提拔全球最优秀的人才。我们将积极捍卫自身权益。”
据平等就业机会委员会介绍，该员工是该报的资深编辑，拥有丰富的房地产板块报道经验，去年在竞聘一个空缺的编辑职位时未被选为最终候选人。
该机构称，最终获得该职位的是一名外部应聘者，这名“几乎没有或完全没有房地产新闻报道经验的白人女性”，而房地产编辑岗位明确要求具备相关工作经验。
此次平等就业机会委员会的诉讼正值特朗普政府推动取消公共和私营部门的多元化、公平性和包容性项目之际。
该委员会今年早些时候表示，正在调查体育服饰及装备制造商耐克公司，因其被指控在雇佣、晋升、职场发展和裁员方面歧视白人员工。

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Tuesday filed a lawsuit against the New York Times, alleging the media company violated federal law by failing to consider a White male employee for promotion.
According to the EEOC, the Times did not promote the worker because of his race or gender, which the agency argues violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. This law prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.
“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,” EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas said in a statement.
“Federal law is clear: making hiring or promotion decisions motivated in whole or in part by race or sex violates federal law. There is no diversity exception to this rule,” she added.
“Politically motivated” attack?
Danielle Rhoades Ha, senior vice president of communications at the New York Times, dismissed the EEOC suit.
“The New York Times categorically rejects the politically motivated allegations brought by the Trump administration’s EEOC,” she said in a statement. “Our employment practices are merit-based and focused on recruiting and promoting the best talent in the world. We will defend ourselves vigorously.”
The employee, whom the commission described as a longtime editor at the paper with extensive experience covering the real estate sector, was not selected last year as a finalist to fill an open editorial position, according to the EEOC.
The person hired for the role was an external candidate, the agency said, describing the person as a “White female with little to no experience in real estate journalism, despite such experience being a requirement for the real estate editor position.”
The EEOC suit follows the Trump administration’s push to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion programs in both the public and private sectors.
The commission said earlier this year that it was investigating sports apparel and equipment maker Nike over allegations of discrimination against White workers in hiring, promotion, workplace development and layoffs.
