Overview
- America First Legal lodged a federal civil rights complaint with the EEOC against the Los Angeles Dodgers and Guggenheim Partners, accusing their DEI practices of violating Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
- The complaint spotlights the Dodgers’ DEI mission statement and measurable diversity goals as driving factors in hiring, training and recruitment decisions.
- It challenges employee Business Resource Groups—including the Black Action Network, SOMOS La and Women’s Opportunity Network—for granting material benefits on the basis of race, color, sex or national origin.
- America First Legal is urging the EEOC to examine application data and internal HR policies to determine whether protected characteristics improperly influence employment choices.
- The filing forms part of a wider conservative push led by Stephen Miller’s organization to roll back corporate DEI initiatives through federal enforcement, and the Dodgers have not responded to requests for comment.
