The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced Wednesday it has launched an investigation into Nike over programs that the agency alleges may have discriminated against white employees.

The EEOC said it had filed an action in federal court in Missouri to compel Nike to produce information related to “systemic race discrimination allegations,” including as a result of the company’s diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) targets in 2025 and other DEI-related initiatives, according to a news release. The move comes amid the Trump administration’s ongoing efforts to crack down on DEI programs nationwide.

The EEOC also alleged that the footwear and apparel giant may have engaged in “a pattern or practice of disparate treatment against white employees, applicants and training program participants in hiring, promotion, demotion, or separation decisions, including selection for layoffs; internship programs; and mentoring, leadership development and other career development programs,” according to the agency’s court filing.

A Nike spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement on Wednesday that “this feels like a surprising and unusual escalation.”

Nike has promoted DEI on its website, claiming that “bringing” its “mission to life” begins with “our people and creating a workforce that represents different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives.”
