A federal agency responsible for protecting civil rights in the workplace is systematically removing longstanding policies designed to combat employment discrimination.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is working to eliminate regulations that were put in place years ago to address workplace bias. Officials with the current administration contend that these existing policies have resulted in reverse discrimination targeting white Americans.
The EEOC was originally created through Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as a response to widespread employment discrimination that was deeply embedded in hiring and workplace practices.
