Who does Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 apply to? Who are exempt from it?
What will be an ideal response?
In 1973, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act expanded Title VII’s coverage to public and private employers (including state and local governments and public and private educational institutions) with 15 or more employees, labor organizations with 15 or more members, and both public and private employment agencies. These amendments provide broad coverage under Title VII, with the following exceptions: (1) private clubs, (2) places of employment connected with an Indian reservation, and (3) religious organizations (which are allowed to discriminate because of religion) [Title VII, Sections 701(a), 702, and 703(i)]. The U.S. Office of Personnel Management and the Merit Systems Protection Board, rather than the EEOC, monitor nondiscrimination and affirmative action programs of the federal government.
