EEOC Issues Affirmative Action Guidance
The EEOC publishes interpretive guidance encouraging voluntary, narrowly tailored affirmative action plans under Title VII, along with Compliance Manual Section 607.
The EEOC's recision of its 1979 affirmative action guidance strips away a key compliance shield, forcing employers to reassess the legality of all race- and sex-conscious employment practices. This regulatory shift aligns with recent Supreme Court precedent and invites heightened scrutiny from the agency and private litigants. Legal advisors must urgently guide clients through a privileged audit to mitigate exposure.
