An allegedly racially segregated diversity, equity and inclusion training is at the heart of an U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission lawsuit against Washington University filed Wednesday. The charging party alleged that she and her coworkers at the Alvin J. Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) were placed into separate Zoom breakout rooms based on race and that she then faced retaliation through termination after complaining to EEOC.
This alleged conduct is a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title I of the Civil Rights Act of 1991, according to EEOC v. The Washington University, filed against the St. Louis, Missouri school.
During President Donald Trump’s administration, EEOC has actively pursued Title VII violation claims that center around DEI programming.
