Trump's EEOC Chair Circulates Rule That Would Slow Bias Suits

(Bloomberg) -- The leader of the U.S. workplace anti-discrimination agency is pursuing a policy shift that could slow litigation against companies long after President-Elect Joe Biden takes office.
Janet Dhillon, the chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, has recently circulated a proposal to staff that would strip the general counsel’s authority to file lawsuits without a commission vote, according to current and former agency officials who requested anonymity to discuss internal proceedings.
Under the proposal, the agency’s commissioners would first have to approve any litigation, rather than that authority being delegated to the general counsel.
Dhillon, who was appointed by President Donald Trump, floated a similar proposal last year, provoking an outcry from advocates, who said that requiring the approval of the agency’s commissioners for even run-of-the-mill litigation would inhibit enforcement of civil rights law.
