In one of the first actions taken after he was sworn in as President, Donald Trump designated new Chairmen and Acting Chairmen of 15 federal agencies. Among these was the designation of EEOC Commissioner Andrea R. Lucas to be Acting Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. She replaces Charlotte A. Burrows who will remain a member of the Commission. The EEOC adjudicates claims of employment discrimination, including religious discrimination in employment.
