Planned Parenthood of Illinois to pay $500,000 to settle a federal discrimination case over race-segregated caucuses and biased trainings.
Planned Parenthood of Illinois will pay $500,000 to settle a federal discrimination case after the EEOC found the organization violated civil rights laws by requiring race-segregated affinity caucuses and conducting diversity trainings that included derogatory remarks targeting white employees.
The investigation, prompted by employee complaints, concluded that these practices created a hostile work environment and amounted to unlawful racial discrimination.
EEOC Chair Andrea Lucas emphasized that civil rights protections apply to all workers regardless of race.
The settlement follows leadership changes since 2025, with new CEO Adrienne White-Faines stating reforms have been implemented.
The case is part of a broader federal scrutiny of DEI initiatives, with similar investigations ongoing at Nike and a Coca-Cola bottler.
