- 平等就业机会委员会主席指责哈佛大学系统性歧视白人、亚裔、男性或异性恋申请者
- 哈佛律师称此次调查属于更广泛的政府报复行为
马萨诸塞州波士顿9月30日路透电——美国平等就业机会委员会（EEOC）提起诉讼，要求强制哈佛大学交出相关记录，以调查这所常春藤盟校的雇佣行为是否存在歧视，尤其是针对白人男性的歧视。
在共和党籍主席安德里亚·卢卡斯去年指控哈佛大学基于种族和性别系统性歧视后，该委员会于周二晚间在波士顿联邦法院提起诉讼。

卢卡斯是在唐纳德·特朗普总统政府启动针对美国这所历史最悠久、财力最雄厚大学的全面运动期间提出上述指控的。哈佛大学方面称，因拒绝按照共和党政府的议程调整雇佣和学术项目，正遭到报复。
卢卡斯指控，总部位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市的哈佛大学自2018年以来，一直在系统性歧视白人、亚裔、男性或异性恋雇员和求职者，以实现校方所称的“教职员工人口结构多元化”。
卢卡斯领导下的平等就业机会委员会一直专注于审查企业和机构的多元化、公平性与包容性项目。在哈佛大学一案中，她指控该校自2013年以来推行了一系列项目，导致除白人男性之外的所有人口群体的教职员工就业人数都出现增长。
平等就业机会委员会表示，尽管哈佛大学已经提供了部分记录，但一直拒绝提交多类文件，包括2018年以来所有教职岗位申请者的相关数据。
该机构请求法官下令哈佛大学遵守其传票，称传票是针对哈佛大学是否违反1964年《民权法案》第七章的歧视行为开展合法调查的一部分。
哈佛大学未回应置评请求。但在诉讼附带的一份证据中，该校律师辩称该机构“并非在开展善意调查，而是整个政府对哈佛报复行动的一部分”。
哈佛大学此前已经在其他法官处胜诉，驳回了政府终止其逾20亿美元拨款、阻止该校接待国际学生以及以未能保护犹太和以色列学生免受骚扰为由提起诉讼的诉求。
一名联邦法官在周五的听证会上，对美国司法部另一起诉讼案也持怀疑态度。该诉讼旨在强制哈佛大学交出相关记录，以调查该校在学生录取中对种族因素的考量程度。

- Harvard’s lawyers call probe part of broader government retaliation
BOSTON, Sept 30 (Reuters) – The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit seeking to force Harvard University to turn over records for an investigation into whether the Ivy League school’s hiring practices are discriminatory, particularly against white men.
The EEOC filed the
lawsuit
in Boston federal court late on Tuesday after the commission’s Republican chair, Andrea Lucas, last year filed a charge accusing Harvard of engaging in systemic discrimination on the basis of race and sex.

She did so as President Donald Trump’s administration launched a broad campaign against the nation’s richest and oldest university, which contends it is being retaliated against for refusing demands to overhaul its hiring and academic programs to align with the Republican’s agenda.
Lucas alleged that since 2018, Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Harvard engaged in a pattern of discriminating against white, Asian, male or straight employees and job applicants in order to achieve what the school said was the “demographic diversification of the faculty.”
The EEOC under Lucas has been focused on scrutinizing diversity, equity and inclusion programs at companies and institutions. In Harvard’s case, she charged that the school adopted a series of programs that resulted in a growth of faculty employment in every demographic group since 2013 except white men.
The EEOC said that while Harvard had produced some records, it had resisted turning over a broad series of categories of documents, including data concerning all applicants for faculty positions since 2018.
The agency asked a judge to order Harvard to comply with its subpoena, which the EEOC said was part of a valid investigation into whether Harvard engaged in discriminatory practices in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Harvard did not respond to requests for comment. But in an exhibit included with the lawsuit, its lawyers argued the agency “is not engaged in a good-faith investigation but rather is part of the whole-of-government retaliation against Harvard.”
The university has already secured rulings from other judges rejecting the administration’s efforts to terminate over $2 billion in grants, block the school from hosting international students and sue it for allegedly failing to protect Jewish and Israeli students from harassment.
A federal judge during a Friday hearing appeared skeptical of a separate lawsuit the US Department of Justice filed seeking to force Harvard to turn over records for an investigation into the extent to which it considers race in its student admissions.
