EEOC Ruling
EEOC issues Selina S. v. Driscoll, reversing the Lusardi precedent in a 2-1 vote.
Selina S. Request
A civilian Army employee requests bathroom access corresponding to her gender identity.
Lusardi Precedent
EEOC rules that federal agencies must allow bathroom access based on gender identity.
