Anti-DEI Group Files FTC Complaint Against Wall Street Fellowship Program
Americans for Equal Opportunity (AEO), an anti-Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) group, has lodged a complaint with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC). The complaint targets Sponsors for Educational Opportunity (SEO), a New York-based nonprofit, alleging false advertising and unlawful labor practices within its legal fellowship program. This program places recent college graduates in internships at prominent Wall Street banks, law firms, and other companies. AEO is specifically requesting the FTC to investigate SEO and 15 law firms that have participated in the program. This action follows a similar complaint filed by AEO last month with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). A spokesperson for the FTC has declined to comment on the matter.
