The head of Condé Nast’s fast-growing lifestyle programming group resigned Wednesday after accusations of bias from several employees, the second executive to depart the company in recent days after a staff-led uprising focused on the magazine giant’s difficulties with race. “I am no longer with Condé Nast,” he said. Mr. Duckor left the company, the home of Vogue, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair, among other publications, two days after Adam Rapoport resigned as editor in chief of Bon Appétit. Mr. Rapoport stepped down soon after a 2004 photo showing him wearing a racially insensitive costume resurfaced on social media. The online appearance of the photo sparked a revolt among Condé Nast employees, many of whom described an entrenched culture of racial insensitivity.
