FCC Officially Moves EEO Team From Media Bureau To Enforcement Bureau

EEO Team Moves

Pursuant to a 2018 vote authorizing the action, the FCC is officially moving its Equal Employment Opportunity team from the Media Bureau to the Enforcement Bureau.  The move was approved last year but required approval from the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and the Office of Management and Budget as well as an agreement with the NATIONAL TREASURY EMPLOYEES UNION.

Chairman AJIT PAI said, “By moving our Equal Employment Opportunity team to the Enforcement Bureau, we will improve the FCC’s enforcement of these rules and strengthen our commitment to fighting discrimination.  For half a century, the FCC has been tasked with ensuring that broadcasters, cable operators, and other multichannel video programming distributors comply with our national policy against discrimination in hiring.  This reform will help us fulfill that charge.  I thank all those involved in this modernization process.”
