The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission enforces laws prohibiting 
employment discrimination based on race, color, gender, religion, 
national origin, age, and disability in the Federal and private sectors.

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) was created by title 
VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e-4), and became 
operational July 2, 1965. Laws under the EEOC's enforcement mission 
include title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C. 2000e et 
seq.), the Age

Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (29 U.S.C. 621 et seq.), 
sections of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 791 et seq.), the 
Equal Pay Act of 1963 (29 U.S.C. 206), title I of the Americans with 
Disabilities Act of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.), and sections of the 
Civil Rights Act of 1991 (105 Stat. 1071).
The EEOC is a bipartisan commission composed of five members appointed 
by the President, with the advice and consent of the Senate, for 
staggered 5-year terms. The President designates a Chairman and Vice 
Chairman. In addition to the members of the Commission, the President 
appoints a General Counsel, with the advice and consent of the Senate, 
to support the Commission and provide direction, coordination, and 
supervision of the EEOC's litigation program. The General Counsel serves 
for a term of 4 years.

Activities

Enforcement  The EEOC enforces its statutory, regulatory, policy, and 
program responsibilities through its headquarters-based Office of Field 
Programs, the Office of General Counsel, and 53 field offices. The field 
offices receive charges of discrimination from the public and use a 
variety of resolution methods, tailored to each charge, from voluntary 
mediation to full-scale. The field staff is responsible for achieving a 
wide range of objectives, focusing on the quality, timeliness, and 
appropriateness of individual, class, and systemic charges and for 
securing relief for victims of discrimination in accordance with 
Commission policies. The field staff also counsel individuals about 
their rights under the laws enforced by the EEOC and conduct outreach 
and technical assistance programs. The Office of General Counsel 
conducts the Commission's litigation in U.S. District Courts and Courts 
of Appeal.
Complaints Against the Federal Government  The EEOC establishes the 
procedures for Federal employees and job applicants to file complaints 
of employment discrimination or retaliation for having in engaged in 
protected EEO activity. The agency charged with discrimination is 
responsible for informal counseling, and, if a complaint is filed and 
that complaint is accepted, for investigating the claims raised therein. 
At the conclusion of the investigation, complainants may request a 
hearing before an EEOC administrative judge or that the agency issue a 
final decision on the matter. The agency's final decision or final 
action after a hearing may be appealed to the Commission.
    In addition, the Office of Federal Operations provides oversight and 
technical assistance concerning EEO complaint adjudication and the 
maintenance of effective affirmative programs of equal employment 
opportunity throughout the Federal government. Using the guidance and 
principles contained in the EEOC's EEO Management Directive 715, the 
Commission monitors and evaluates Federal agencies' affirmative 
employment programs under title VII and section 501 of the 
Rehabilitation Act and ensures that all Federal employees compete on a 
fair and level playing field.
Other Activities  The Commission promotes voluntary compliance with 
equal employment opportunity statutes through a variety of educational 
and technical assistance activities. The Commission's outreach and 
education programs provide general information about the EEOC, its 
mission, rights and responsibilities under the statutes enforced by the 
Commission, and the charge/complaint process. EEOC representatives are 
available on a limited basis at no cost to make presentations and 
participate in meetings, conferences, and seminars with employee and 
employer groups, professional associations, students, nonprofit 
entities, community organizations, and other members of the general 
public.
    The Commission also offers more in-depth training tailored to 
employers for a fee. This training is available to private employers and 
State, local, and Federal government personnel through the EEOC Training 
Institute. The EEOC Training Institute provides a wide variety of 
training to assist in educating managers and employees on the laws 
enforced by

the EEOC and how to prevent and eliminate discrimination in the 
workplace. The EEOC develops policy guidance and provides technical 
assistance to employers and employees, and coordinates with other 
agencies and stakeholders regarding the statutes and regulations it 
enforces.
    The Commission also publishes data on the employment status of 
minorities and women through six employment surveys covering private 
employers, apprenticeship programs, labor unions, State and local 
governments, elementary and secondary schools, and colleges and 
universities. This collection of data is shared with selected Federal 
agencies and is made available, in appropriate form, for public use.
