EEO Order Oral Argument Set for Week of Feb. 3

Oral argument in the legal challenge against the FCC’s collection of workforce diversity data is “tentatively scheduled” for the week of Feb. 3, said a notice from the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in docket No. 24-60219 Friday. The National Religious Broadcasters, the American Family Association and the Texas Association of Broadcasters have argued that the FCC’s February equal employment opportunity order is unconstitutional and outside the agency’s authority, while the agency has said collecting the data and making it publicly available will improve diversity in broadcasting (see2410210044).
