Texas vs EEOC

On May 15, 2025, a federal court vacated portions of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s (EEOC) workplace harassment guidance, specifically, guidance on harassment based on sexual orientation and gender identity. The court vacated portions of the EEOC’s enforcement guidance because the EEOC allegedly “exceeded its statutory authority by issuing” it and by “requiring bathroom, dress, and pronoun accommodations inconsistent with the text, history, and tradition of Title VII and recent Supreme Court precedent.”
