US civil rights agency moves to end demographic data collection after 60 years

The US civil rights agency has voted to scrap a workforce diversity reporting rule in place since 1966, removing public visibility into the racial and gender makeup of large companies. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas, a critic of diversity and inclusion practices, has encouraged white men to file discrimination complaints. This decision ends six decades of demographic data collection used to monitor workforce composition across the United States, stripping away a long-standing tool for tracking corporate demographics.
