The Washington Post Quotes Christy Kiely on EEOC Proposal to End Demographic Data Collection

The Washington Post quoted partner Christy Kiely in its May 15, 2026 article, “Federal civil rights watchdog wants to stop tracking data on race and sex.” The piece examines the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s proposal to end decades‑long collection of employer demographic data and what that shift could mean for workplace discrimination enforcement. 

Kiely emphasized that employers should continue long‑standing compliance practices despite the proposed rollback, noting:
