Employment Discrimination

America First Legal filed a Dec. 16, 2025 request urging the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to open a ‘Commissioner Charge’ investigation into Penguin Random House’s DEI policies, alleging unlawful race- and sex-based employment practices under Title VII. The letter, addressed to EEOC Chair Andrea R. Lucas, cites PRH’s public DEI materials and demographic reporting as evidence; PRH publicly states it aims to cultivate a workforce reflective of society and holds leaders accountable for DEI goals.
