Given a partition $lambda$ of n, consider the subspace $E_lambda$ of $C^n$ where the first $lambda_1$ coordinates are equal, the next $lambda_2$ coordinates are equal, etc. In this paper, we study subspace arrangements $X_lambda$ consisting of the union of translates of $E_lambda$ by the symmetric group. In particular, we focus on determining when $X_lambda$ is Cohen-Macaulay. This is inspired by previous work of the third author coming from the study of rational Cherednik algebras and which answers the question positively when all parts of $lambda$ are equal. We show that $X_lambda$ is not Cohen-Macaulay when $lambda$ has at least 4 distinct parts, and handle a large number of cases when $lambda$ has 2 or 3 distinct parts. Along the way, we also settle a conjecture of Sergeev and Veselov about the Cohen-Macaulayness of algebras generated by deformed Newton sums. Our techniques combine classical techniques from commutative algebra and invariant theory, in many cases we can reduce an infinite family to a finite check which can sometimes be handled by computer algebra.
