Probably a coincidence, but look what I found: EEOC Website Fail

So I just started training for an HR position, and this morning I found myself browsing the EEOC (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) website, specifically the Publications request form page, where you can order fact sheets about the various forms of workplace discrimination.

The "National Origin Discrimination" factsheet tops the list. At the moment, however, the link leads you to a page saying "We're sorry, but that page could not be found."

...it's the only one missing.

I know it's probably just a poorly maintained website demonstrating its mediocrity, but it kind of creeped me out. Like, "you can't discriminate based on age, or religion, or pregnancy, or race, or disability. Oh, national origin? Well, we USED to protect against discrimination based on that, too, but... well... can we get back to you?"

Dammit, America. We're supposed to be ADDING to the list of protected classes (c'mon LBGTQ), not removing them.

I got "This page is in the process of being created or has temporarily been inactivated"

I don't think this is a coincidence.

Yeah, I should have clarified that the bit I quoted was from the PDF link. Alpha Echo clicked on the HTML link, which is also down. I would have posted screenshots (I took some), but I haven't gotten around to figuring out how to use photobucket or similar software.

It's weird that it worked for Cindyt, though...

I feel like I should do something about this, tell someone. But with all the other insanity going on in the government, would anybody care? I mean, it's just a broken link. How often does anybody even actually look at those documents? Could be it's been broken for months. Should I contact the admin in the HTML message (copied below) and nose around?

I contacted the good folks at NPR. It may come to nothing, but I figured "why not?"
