The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC)  settled a lawsuit against iTutorGroup in November 2023 for $365,000. 

Why? 

Because iTutorGroup allegedly programmed its software to automatically reject applicants based on age – rejecting women 55+ and men 60+ from even being considered for tutoring jobs.

Age discrimination is real, and it's costly for companies and individuals alike. 

Not only did over 200 applicants miss out on opportunities, but students lost out on learning from experienced, highly qualified tutors.

Discrimination doesn't just violate the law—it takes opportunities away from everyone.
