The EEOC chair knows gutting diversity reporting will blind the agency to discrimination. She’s doing it anyway.
The chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), Andrea Lucas, has proposed rescinding a regulation that requires employers to report demographic data on race and gender.
