EEOC Issues List of Significant Race/Color Cases

On December 3, 2007, the EEOC posted the following notice:

"In enforcing Title VII's prohibition of race and color discrimination, the EEOC has filed, resolved, and adjudicated a number of cases since 1964. Under the E-RACE Initiative, the Commission continues to be focused on the eradication of race and color discrimination from the 21st century workplace and is seeking to retool its enforcement efforts to address contemporary forms of overt, subtle and implicit bias."

The agency has posted on its website an "inexhaustive list" of significant EEOC private or federal sector cases from 2003 to present. According to the agency, these cases illustrate some of the common, novel, systemic and emerging issues in the realm of race and color discrimination.
