End to EEO-1 Component 2 Pay Data Reporting for Now…
By Amy Conway & Stephanie Scheck on 03/02/2020
On February 10, 2020, in National Women's Law Center v. Office of Management and Budget, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's (EEOC's) collection of gender and race pay data complete. This marks the end of a long-fought battle that has been raging since 2016 over whether and how the EEOC could require covered employers to submit pay data as part of the EEO-1 Report that these companies are already required to complete each year.
Covered employers include private companies with 100 or more employees and federal contractors with 50 or more employees. Covered employers are required to file the EEO-1 Report each year, identifying the number of employees in various job groups by race and sex ("Component 1"). The long-fought battle concerned whether to add gender and race pay data ("Component 2") to the EEO-1 Report.
On January 29, 2016, the EEOC announced proposed revisions to the Employer Information Report (EEO-1) that would require collection of pay data beginning in 2017. On September 29, 2016, the White House's Office of Management and Budget (OMB) under President Obama approved the revised EEO-1 Report. However, after President Trump took office, the OMB brought a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia and successfully stayed that requirement on August 29, 2017, prior to the date on which covered employers had any legal obligation to gather and submit pay data.
Various groups challenged the OMB's stay, and initiated litigation to have the pay data requirement reinstated. On March 5, 2019, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia vacated the decision of the OMB to stay and reconsider the EEOC's 2016 revised EEO-1 Component 2 pay data collection. On May 2, 2019, the EEOC announced that it will collect 2017 pay data along with 2018 pay data by September 30, 2019.
As a result, the EEOC began collecting pay data in a revised EEO-1 form, OMB Control No. 3046-0007, for calendar years 2017 and 2018 in mid-July 2019. The revised EEO-1 form organized pay data into categories of race, sex, ethnicity, and job group. That information was then sorted into one of 12 pay bands, creating a grid. The revised EEO-1 form does not expire until April 5, 2021.
Initially, the District Court set a deadline of September 30, 2019 for collecting pay data. However, the deadline was pushed back when the Court determined that more employers needed to submit their data. As of February 7, 2020, 89% of all eligible employers had submitted pay data to the EEOC.
Despite the collection being complete, the EEOC and the OMB are still appealing the District Court's orders. The government claims that the Court exceeded its authority by reviving and instituting the Obama-era pay reporting requirement and setting how and when the collection of pay data could occur.
On September 11, 2019, the EEOC announced in the Federal Register that it intends to submit to OMB a request for a three-year approval of Component 1 of the EEO-1 and does not intend to submit to OMB a request to renew Component 2. The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has said it will not request, accept, or use Component 2 pay data, but it will continue to use Component 1 data.
Even though the EEOC and the OFCCP are purportedly not actively collecting and/or using compensation information in the EEO-1 report, it is critical that all employers—particularly government contractors—regularly conduct pay equity analyses in preparing for OFCCP audits. Compensation information is requested as part of OFCCP audits, separate and apart from the EEO-1 Report. Disparities in compensation remain a focus of OFCCP and allegations of discrimination in compensation have resulted in litigation and significant settlements in recent years.
In fact, in 2019, OFCCP obtained a record $40,569,816 in monetary settlements for affected class members, which is $16 million more than the next highest year. The three-year total of monetary settlements for 2017-2019 is the highest three-year period on record and exceeded the prior seven years (2010-2016) combined. Recently, OFCCP reached a $5 million settlement with Intel Corp. to resolve pay discrimination allegations brought by African American and Hispanic American employees at its facilities in Arizona, California and Oregon.

Cancer-free | Canton community celebrates 5-year-old's last day of chemotherapy
Hyrum Harris was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2019.
Author: Gabriella Nunez

CANTON, Ga. — After battling cancer for a portion of his young life, a Canton boy is celebrating his last day of chemotherapy Thursday night.
Hyrum Harris let freedom ring at the Hickory Flat Chick-Fil-A in Canton, celebrating the end of his chemotherapy treatment to the sound of a cowbell. The restaurant rang in applause for Hyrum, cheering along to the happy news alongside with him.
Chick-Fil-A is a Harris family staple as their waffle fries were often Hyrum's choice of comfort food while undergoing treatment, his family said.
The five-year-old, who was born with Down syndrome, was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia in 2019. For two years Hyrum underwent treatment that seriously impacted the function of his liver. Despite all of this, Hyrum was taken off chemo a year early, his mother April Harris said.
The unexpected news left Hyrum's mother in a time crunch to figure out how to celebrate the milestone in her young son's life. The mother of seven reached out to the community for help and the response has been overwhelming, she said.
One neighbor helped organize a sign to surprise.
Cardboard cutouts of stars and balloons decorated Hyrum's yard on Jan. 1, reading "Last Day of Chemo." His favorite Toy Story characters were standing alongside the sign, the cutouts welcoming the five-year-old after his final treatment.
The community toasted to his final treatment with fun and pizza that day.
His mother said the celebrations were a heartfelt end to Hyrum's cancer journey. She has been documenting Hyrum's diagnosis over the years, posting pictures of his journey on her online fundraise #HopeforHyrum.
"He is such a joy, such a light and a great example of how to endure hard things," she wrote in her latest entry.
Though Hyrum's chapter has come to an end, his family is left with medical bills and the hope to help others navigate a tough diagnosis. They ask those who are wishing to help contribute via donation.

Cheap ski holidays Grindelwald - ski resort with unmistakeable charm!
Framed by the breathtaking backdrop of the Eiger, the Mönch and the Jungfrau, at the foot of the Eiger's north face, lies the lovely Grindelwald. The weather-beaten wooden houses bestows a special charm on the mountain climbing village. The Jungfrau Top ski region offers everything the skiing heart desires, with 206 kilometres of piste and snow security up to 2,970 m. Grindelwald and Wengen are traditional World Cup locations, and the Schilthorn (Piz Gloria) became famous as the shooting location of a James Bond films. From Grindelwald you can travel by train past the ski region Kleine Scheidegg to the Jungfraujoch (3,454 m), the highest train station in Europe. Top events, such as the "World Snow Festival", the Skicross Worldcup or the "Eiger Bike Challenge" take place here and undermine the diversity of this "Best of the Alps" resort.


Blue Lights is an album by American jazz guitarist Kenny Burrell recorded in 1958 and released on the Blue Note label as two 12 inch LP's entitled Volume 1 and Volume 2. The cover features artwork by Andy Warhol. Any has done other Album Art for Blue note Records but that will be an article on its own. The album was subsequently reissued as separate CDs and a two disc set combining Volume 1 and Volume 2.
My favorite selection comes from Volume 2 and is entitled Autumn in New York. His lyrical rendering of this popular tune places me 3000 miles away on a park bench in either Central Park or Battery Park in New York City. This music was recorded over 50 years ago; however the quality of these pressings whether purchased on vinyl or CD are masterful.
Burrell was born in Detroit, Michigan, to a musical family and began playing guitar at the age of 12. Guitarists who influenced him include Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt, and Wes Montgomery. While a student at Wayne State University, he made his recording debut as a member of Dizzy Gillespie's sextet in 1951, following which he recorded the Ground Round single at Fortune Records in Detroit. He toured with Oscar Peterson after graduating in 1955 and then moved to New York City in 1956.
A consummate sideman, Burrell has recorded with a wide range of prominent musicians. He has also led his own groups since 1951 and recorded many well-received albums.
In the 1970s he began leading seminars about music, particularly Duke Ellington's. Although the two never collaborated directly, Ellington called Burrell his "favorite guitarist," and Burrell has recorded a number of tributes to and interpretations of Ellington's works.
A highly popular performer, Burrell has won several jazz polls in Japan and the United Kingdom as well as in the United States. He has recorded about 106 albums, including Midnight Blue (1963), Blue Lights, Guitar Forms, Sunup To Sundown (1990), Soft Winds (1993), Then Along Came Kenny (1993), and Lotus Blossom (1995).
In the mid 90's, Mr. Burrell served as Director of Jazz Studies at UCLA, mentoring such notable alumni as Gretchen Parlato and Kalil Wilson. Burrell tought a course entitled "Ellingtonia", examining the life and accomplishments of Duke Ellington.
He is still performing today at the age of 82 and can sometimes be heard at Catalina Bar and Grill in Hollywood California.
Take a musical interlude and listen to Kenny Burrell Quartet's Autumn in New York here.

home is where they send us...: 9 MONTHS!
I just cannot believe sweet baby Ash is 9 months old. It seems like just yesterday I found out I was pregnant and just yesterday she was born. All the newborn snuggles, the baby baths and the many firsts we have already been blessed with. But, it wasn't yesterday - it was nine months ago. And, about 18 months ago we found out there'd be another addition to our family. How weird is it that it feels like just yesterday but also feels like she's always been here.
This baby, like every baby, is a blessing. I cannot even find words to describe how much joy she brings our family. She loves her sisters and brother. She plays with them and interacts. She's already learned how to drop food to the dogs, where to crawl to find the dog food, how to get Gator to pick her up, how to get Achoo to grab her toys...she's just so perfect in my eyes. The perfect addition, the perfect gift, and most definitely the perfect blessing.
She says Da when she wants something....and I've only heard MaMa in times of complete panic (ha!). She stands, cruises, and crawls at lightening speed. Her favorite food is yogurt and she also enjoys puffs and grapes (obviously cut into very small pieces). She loves snuggling. Her favorite toy is the Marble Castleworks. She can actually put the ball at the top herself and watch it go down!

Critics of cancel culture are largely made up of society's traditional beneficiaries; influencers who are in a position of power. They fear that, by being cancelled, they will lose their power, fame, or wealth. Those who are cancelled are people who use their privileges to gain unfair advantages, or even cause harm to others, either directly or indirectly. Cancel culture is critical for ensuring that these corrupt individuals do not get to rule the world.
< (2 of 3) Next argument >
Osita Nwanevu of The New Republic writes that "cancel culture," while widely debated, is only a source of panic for the most elite in our society. Sarah Silverman says that comedians' voices are being muted when their entire purpose is to draw attention to the controversial. She still supports Dave Chappelle, even though he publicly criticized and patronized those who had come forward to say they had been sexually abused by Michael Jackson. Comedian and screenwriter Rob Schneider believes that comedians and public figures are being subjected to an "intolerable inquisition." Yet, Silverman is a long-time comedian with over a million followers on Instagram, and the most powerful people who have been criticized on social media do not face any tangible damage to their careers, especially when they snap back at critics. Nwanevu says that most of the time, this "spirit of defiance" actually enhances their public image; people love to see a rebel in action if the behavior does not directly impact them.[1] Comedians and entertainers are not the only ones aghast at cancel culture. In July of 2020, a myriad of writers and scholars published a letter in Harper's Magazine decrying the cruelty of publicly "cancelling" someone online.[2] But Nwanevu notes that comedians and other cultural and political leaders seem to be more interested in preserving their own comfort than they are in adapting to new audiences who have been educated by the all the voices that are no longer silenced, and are taking to social media to create a better world.[1] The majority of the names signed to the Harper's letter are affiliated with powerful academic institutions or serve as highly-educated cultural leaders, and their engagement with and preservation of civil discourse is appreciated. But cancel culture is a manifestation of this very discourse, a space for people to investigate morals and to call out violence that will not be tolerated. If the signers of this letter are leaders of our society, cancel culture seeks to hold them to the high moral standards everyone else is held to. They say, "As writers we need a culture that leaves us room for experimentation, risk-taking, and even mistakes." There is nothing wrong with this desire. Everyone makes mistakes, but they should have consequences, and they should lead to change.[3] Nwanevu points out that the perhaps the most intimidating part of cancel culture for those in power is the new set of voices behind it. There are women and marginalized groups, all mostly young, typing out persuasive and biting remarks on abusers of power. Nwanevu reminds us that these groups of people have never had a chance to speak before, let alone be heard by millions on social media. It is not that people are just now misusing their power, or that the public is suddenly more sensitive to it; it's just that there is now a widely accessible platform for the truth to be told. That being said, cancel culture is the bare minimum, and not nearly as damaging as it is painted to be. It is true, Nwanevu notes, that cancel culture is not reserved for the obviously rich and powerful. When football star Kyler Murray's homophobic slurs resurfaced from his teen years, he received public backlash. Yet, his career remained very much intact; now, he plays for the Arizona Cardinals.[1] This new tool of "cancelling" seeks to name violence, to demand justice, and to give voice to those who have too long been silenced (and still are). It seems that those who are most afraid of its strength are leaders who value their creative freedom more than they do the existence of an equitable social platform.
Counter arguments
Criticizers of cancel culture seem most wary of both where this phenomenon can lead, and that it doesn't seem to get to the root of the problem. "Cancelling" someone online is slippery; it does not lead to a direct legal course of action, for instance, and most of the time, there is no official or tangible change, especially for those in power. Former President Barack Obama famously commented on cancel culture's lack of nuance at the Obama Foundation summit in October of 2019. His problem is surely not with amplifying marginalized voices; he warns that cancel culture can do the opposite. It is performative activism with little substance, he explains: "That's not activism. That's not bringing about change. If all you're doing is casting stones, you're probably not going to get that far." Many of our issues are systemic and deeply rooted, and we have all grown up under their domain, so Obama explains that humans will make mistakes without fail. He calls on activists to dive deeper.[4] Natasha Tynes, award-winning author, faced the consequences of cancel culture after she sent out a frustrated tweet on her morning commute, paired with a photo of a black metro worker eating her breakfast on the train. A post of this nature could cost the metro worker her livelihood, especially considering the prejudice and violence black women face in America. Soon Twitter users called Tynes out. Before long, her publishing house, Rare Bird, was made aware of her inconsiderate Tweet and her book was cancelled.[5] The behind-the-scenes aftermath of cancel culture is often the most damaging. Tynes is a Jordanian immigrant, a self-proclaimed Democrat, and the breadwinner for her family including three children. Tynes explained that she only realized the damage she could have caused this worker after the fact; she did not grow up in the U.S. and therefore did not understand the consequences of a post like this for a black woman. Although Tynes had worked tirelessly over her novel for four years and had come to realize the enormity of her actions especially on social media, it would be a risk for the publishing house to move forward with her book after the public backlash.[5] The internet is out of our hands; we have no control over its memory or its power. Quickly, Twitter users eventually twisted the initial goal to hold Tynes accountable into an ambush of online cruelty. Tynes ended up facing an onslaught of xenophobic, racist, and sexist slurs even after her book was cancelled by the publishing house, and her initial shock sent her to the hospital. Worst of all, she endured threats to her family. Tynes was experiencing at a high volume exactly what she was "cancelled" for. It seems that cancel culture, when misused, can target far more than just the privileged elite.[5]
