0:57Now PlayingThe Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is suing The New York Times, alleging the newspaper discriminated against a white male employee when he was passed over for promotion last year.
The suit claims The Times violated federal laws that prohibit hiring or promotion decisions based on race or sex, saying, "There is no diversity exception to this rule."
The unnamed employee filed a complaint with the EEOC last year after the job went to a person described as a nonwhite female.
The Times says it categorically rejects the allegations and is vowing to defend itself vigorously.
