House Republicans Prod Biden Administration to Police Race-Conscious DEI Hiring Practices

House Oversight Committee Republicans sent a letter to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Friday demanding information about the commission’s approach to ensuring the enforcement of existing laws prohibiting racially discriminatory policies in the workplace, as DEI efforts have leeched into recruiting, hiring, and promotion decisions in many companies.

“As the federal agency responsible for enforcing federal laws against illegal racial discrimination in all types of work situations, it is critical that EEOC is taking all available measures to prevent and end unlawful employment practices that discriminate on the basis of an individual’s race or color,” wrote Committee chairman James Comer and subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Pat Fallon in a letter to EEOC chair Charlotte Burrows, obtained exclusively by National Review.
