The Nike investigation was disclosed on Wednesday when the E.E.O.C. filed a motion in federal court in Missouri seeking to force Nike to comply with a subpoena from September.
According to court documents filed with the motion, Ms. Lucas filed a discrimination charge against Nike in 2024, when she was a commissioner on the E.E.O.C. At the time, the commission had a Democratic majority; it now has a 2-to-1 Republican majority. Nike has fought the subpoena and made only partial responses to requests for information, according to the agency’s court filing.
“The E.E.O.C. seeks information directly relevant to the allegations that Nike subjected white employees, applicants and training program participants to disparate treatment based on race in various employment decisions, including layoffs, internship programs and mentoring, leadership development and other career development programs,” the commission said in its motion filed Wednesday.
