The EEOC’s September 11, 2023 announcement describes a consent decree, $365,000 for rejected applicants and at least five years of compliance monitoring. This is a settled enforcement case, not a currently pending liability action.

What screening practice did the EEOC challenge?
The EEOC alleged that iTutorGroup programmed its tutor application software to reject women aged 55 or older and men aged 60 or older. Its announcement says more than 200 qualified U.S.-based applicants were rejected because of age.
What did the settlement provide?
The EEOC announced a $365,000 settlement and additional relief on September 11, 2023. This is a settled enforcement action concerning programmed rejection rules, not an announcement of a new pending lawsuit or an open application for compensation.
Was machine learning established?
The cited announcement describes automated software rules. It does not establish that machine learning was involved. This page therefore identifies iTutorGroup as an automated-hiring comparison rather than proof that every applicant-tracking system uses AI.
