美国平等就业机会委员会（EEOC）是负责执行反职场歧视法律的联邦机构，该机构周三表示，正在调查运动服装制造商耐克（Nike），指控其存在歧视白人员工的行为。
EEOC在周三的法庭文件中称，耐克可能在招聘、晋升、职场发展和裁员方面存在”针对白人员工、求职者和培训项目参与者的差异化对待模式或做法”。
“异常升级”
耐克发言人表示，公司已向该机构提供信息，以努力”与EEOC进行建设性沟通”，并将此次调查称为”令人惊讶且异常的升级”。
“我们致力于公平合法的雇佣实践，并遵守所有适用法律，包括禁止歧视的法律，”发言人说，”我们相信我们的项目和做法符合这些义务，并严肃对待这些问题。我们将继续尝试与EEOC合作，并将对该申请做出回应。”
EEOC在密苏里州联邦法院提起了传票执行诉讼，称正在调查与耐克2025年多元化、公平与包容（DEI）目标相关的歧视指控。该机构周三在一份声明中表示，在公司未能提供传票要求的信息后，提起了这一法律诉讼。
该机构称，已要求耐克提供追溯至2018年的信息，包括其选择裁员员工的标准，以及公司如何追踪员工种族和族裔数据的信息。
EEOC根据1964年《民权法案》第七章成立，该法案禁止就业歧视。
“多亏了特朗普总统致力于执行我国民权法，EEOC重新将重点放在公平执行《民权法案》第七章上，”特朗普总统于2025年11月提名的主席安德里亚·卢卡斯（Andrea Lucas）表示。
DEI调查
EEOC的调查是特朗普政府领导的美国司法部对依赖多元化、公平与包容（DEI）项目的组织和州政府展开一系列调查后的跟进。
几名前司法部雇员上月告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，该部门的重点正转向保护白人免受所谓”反向歧视”的指控。
司法部发言人捍卫了这些调查，告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，多元化、公平与包容举措已导致”公然、广泛的种族和性别歧视，违反了联邦法律”。

EEOC investigating Nike over alleged discrimination against White workers
February 4, 2026 / 4:52 PM EST / CBS News
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a federal agency that enforces laws against workplace discrimination,said Wednesday that it is investigating Nike over allegations that the athletic apparel manufacturer discriminated against White workers.
The EEOC alleges in a court filing on Wednesday that Nike may have engaged in “a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against White employees, applicants and training program participants” with respect to hiring, promotion, workplace development and layoffs.
“Unusual escalation”
A Nike spokesperson said the company has provided the agency with information in an effort to “engage constructively” with the EEOC, calling the probe a “surprising and unusual escalation.”
“We are committed to fair and lawful employment practices and follow all applicable laws, including those that prohibit discrimination,” the spokesperson said. “We believe our programs and practices are consistent with those obligations and take these matters seriously. We will continue our attempt to cooperate with the EEOC and will respond to the petition.”
The EEOC, which filed the subpoena enforcement action in federal court in Missouri, said it is looking into allegations of discrimination tied to Nike’s diversity, equity and inclusion, or DEI, objectives for 2025. The agency said in astatement Wednesday that it filed the legal action after the company failed to provide information it had subpoenaed.
The agency said it has asked Nike for information dating back to 2018, including the criteria it used to select employees for layoffs and information on how the company tracks workers’ race and ethnicity data.
The EEOC was created under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits employment discrimination.
“Thanks to President Trump’s commitment to enforcing our nation’s civil rights laws, the EEOC has renewed its focus on evenhanded enforcement of Title VII,” said Andrea Lucas, whom President Trump nominated as chair in November 2025.
DEI probes
The EEOC’s investigation follows a series of other probeslaunched by the U.S. Department of Justice under the Trump administration into organizations and state governments that relied on DEI programs.
Several former DOJ employeestold CBS News last monththat the department’s focus is shifting toward efforts to protect White people against alleged “reverse discrimination.”
A spokesperson for the Justice Department defended the probes, telling CBS News that DEI initiatives have led to “blatant, widespread race and sex discrimination in violation of federal law.”
