EEOC Votes to Rescind Guidance
The commission votes to withdraw the 1979 Affirmative Action Guidelines and the Compliance Manual Section 607.
EEOC Adopts Affirmative Action Guidelines
The EEOC publishes interpretive guidelines and a compliance manual to help employers develop and defend voluntary affirmative action plans under Title VII.
The EEOC’s withdrawal of its 1979 affirmative action guidelines eliminates the primary Title VII safe harbor employers used to defend voluntary diversity plans. Corporate counsel and employment litigators must now reassess reverse discrimination exposure and advise clients accordingly.
