Race Discrimination - EEOC Issues New Enforcement Guidance
On April 19, 2006 the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission issued new enforcement guidance on race discrimination, which, of course, is prohibited by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The new guidance is codified as Section 15 of the EEOC Compliance Manual.
EEOC Chair Cari M. Dominguez was quoted as saying that
This comprehensive guidance will assist employers, employees and EEOC staff in understanding how Title VII applies to a wide range of contemporary discrimination issues.
Vice Chair Naomi C. Earp said that
Although employment opportunities for people of color have improved dramatically over the years since 1964, EEOC's job, and that of our many partners, will not be completed until all of our nation's workplaces are free of unlawful discrimination.
