A white male DePaul Law School student has lobbed a lawsuit against the Chicago Bears, seeking to sack a “diversity” jobs program he says violates federal anti-discrimination laws by limiting successful applicants only to law school students who “are a ‘person of color” or female.
Plaintiff Jonathan Bresser Jr., identified as a first year law school student at DePaul University in Chicago, filed suit in Chicago federal court on March 11.
In addition to the Chicago Bears organization, the lawsuit also names as defendants Bears Chairman George McCaskey; Bears vice president of human resources Elizabeth Geist; Bears senior vice president and general counsel Cliff Stein; Bears senior vice president of diversity equity and inclusion Tanesha Wade; and others within the Bears organization who either work within the human resources department or serve on the organization’s “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council.”
