A U.S. federal civil rights agency is dropping a subpoena enforcement action against Nike, according to reports. The agency says it is no longer pursuing court enforcement because the company has complied with information requests tied to the investigation.
The probe focuses on Nike’s diversity and inclusion (DEI) policies. While one outlet emphasizes the agency’s procedural decision to withdraw the subpoena enforcement effort, both accounts describe the same underlying status: the agency is treating Nike’s responses as sufficient for the requests made in the investigation. Neither report indicates that the investigation itself has ended, only that the specific effort to compel compliance through the courts is being discontinued.
