AI summary

What happened, with direct paths to the underlying reporting

The EEOC has moved to drop the subpoena enforcement action against Nike after the company provided information from March through August, saying there is no remaining controversy. Nike did not comment. The dispute ties to Andrea Lucas’s criticism of D&I initiatives, and Nike’s 35% minority representation target by 2025 is cited, but the development mainly reduces regulatory overhang rather than altering fundamentals.
