Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (“Title 7” or “Title VII”) is a federal law passed by Congress that prohibits employers from discriminating against employees on the basis of sex, race, color, national origin, and religion.
It generally applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including federal, state, and local governments.
Title VII also applies to private and public colleges and universities, employment agencies, and labor organizations.
Claims of violations of Title VII and other federal anti-harassment laws are investigated by the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”).
