Planned Parenthood of Illinois has agreed to pay $500,000 to resolve an investigation by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) regarding its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices. The EEOC found that the organization violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by "segregating employees by race" and subjecting white employees to harassment. EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas emphasized that "Title VII guarantees equal treatment for every employee" and prohibits race discrimination.
