The EEOC received a record number of discrimination charges in fiscal year 2011 at 99,947. Despite this record high number of charges, the EEOC resolved more charges than it received for the first time in 10 years, reducing its pending inventory by 10%. The EEOC also obtained a record $455.6 million in relief through litigation and settlements. Retaliation and race discrimination remained the most common types of charges filed.

2010 continued a three-year trend of record breaking EEOC charges, with 2010 charges the highest in the Commission’s 45-year history. Our challenging economy, increasingly diverse workforce, new EEO laws and recent court decisions are fueling this steady growth. Keeping up on the trends is critical to protecting your workplace, and sustaining a culture of respect and inclusion
What does this mean for employers? Enhanced anti-discrimination efforts are mission critical. Effective cultural change, behavioral change, and risk management require innovative and integrated anti-discrimination programs. Now, more than ever, reviewing and refining your organization’s EEO compliance programs is essential.

Federal EEO Complaint Process Increased Accountability Measures NeededTanya Ward Jordan
The Coalition For Change, Inc. (C4C)'s presentation to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission capturing eight (8) accountability measures for improving Federal EEO complaint process and thereby improving federal workforce wellness.
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission’s Unmet Mission Challenges Impa...Tanya Ward Jordan
The C4C report addresses the gross deficiencies in the federal equal employment opportunity (EEO) program under the leadership of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). The EEOC has failed to achieve President Jimmy Carter's and Congress' goals since assuming the EEO enforcement role from the Civil Service Commission in 1978. As with its predecessor, the EEOC fails to actively enforce civil rights violations in federal workplaces today.
The report highlights twenty-one (21) challenges civil servants and job applicants confront while navigating the EEO complaint program. The Coalition For Change, also proposes reforms to address the longstanding concerns of advocacy groups, legal scholars, lawmakers, and federal whistleblowers.

role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

012512 EEOC PRESS Release (PRIVATE Sector BIAS At All-Time HIGH)
1. Private Sector Bias Charges Hit All-Time High http://www1.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/release/1-24-12a.cfm?renderforpr...
U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
PRESS RELEASE
1-25-12
Private Sector Bias Charges Hit All-Time High
Pending Inventory Reduced for First Time in 10 Years, Record Amount of Relief Obtained in FY 2011, EEOC
Reports
WASHINGTON—The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) received a record 99,947 charges of
employment discrimination and obtained $455.6 million in relief through its administrative program and litigation in Fiscal
Year 2011, the agency announced today. For the second year in a row, despite a record number of receipts, the
Commission resolved more charges than it took in with 112,499 resolutions (7,500 more resolutions than FY 2010—an
increase of 7%)—leaving 78,136 pending charges, a ten percent decrease in its inventory, the first year the agency has
seen a reduction since 2002.
The FY 2011 data also show:
Due to EEOC’s enforcement programs in both the private and federal sectors, 5.4 million individuals benefitted from
changes in employment policies or practices in their workplace during the past fiscal year.
Through its combined enforcement, mediation and litigation programs, the EEOC was able to obtain a record $455.6
million in relief for private sector, state, and local employees and applicants, a more than $51 million increase from the
past fiscal year and continuing the upward trend of the past three fiscal years.
The mediation program reached record levels, both in the number of resolutions – 9,831 – which is 5% more than in
FY 2010 (9,362), and benefits -- $170,053,021-- $28 million more than FY 2010.
The Commission filed 300 lawsuits and its litigation efforts resulted in $91 million of relief, representing the third year in
a row that the relief obtained was greater than in the preceding year. Continuing to build on its commitment to systemic
litigation, 23 of the lawsuits filed involved systemic allegations involving large numbers of people and an additional 67
had multiple victims (less than 20).
The Commission also filed 261 “merits” (merits suits include direct suits and interventions alleging violations of the
substantive provisions of the statutes enforced by the Commission and suits to enforce administrative settlements)
lawsuits.
EEOC’s public outreach and education programs reached approximately 540,000 persons.
In the federal sector, where the EEOC has different enforcement obligations, the Commission resolved a total of 7,672
requests for hearings, securing more than $58 million in relief for parties who requested hearings. It also resolved
4,510 appeals from final agency determinations.
“For the second year in a row, the EEOC received a record number of new charges of discrimination,” said EEOC Chair
Jacqueline Berrien. “Nevertheless, the hard work of our employees, combined with increased investments in training,
technology and staffing in 2009 and 2010, and strategic management of existing resources made 2011 a year of
extraordinary achievements for the EEOC.”
The total number of charges received was up slightly from last fiscal year’s record total. Once again, charges alleging
retaliation under all the statutes the EEOC enforces were the most numerous at 37,334 charges received, or 37.4 percent
of all charges, closely followed by charges involving claims of race discrimination at 35,395 charges or 35.4 percent.
While the numbers of charges with race and sex discrimination allegations declined from the previous year, charges with
the two other most frequently-cited allegations increased:
Disability discrimination--25,742
Age discrimination—23,465
The agency’s enforcement of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) produced the highest increase in monetary relief
among all of the statutes: the administrative relief obtained for disability discrimination charges increased by almost 35.9
percent to $103.4 million compared to $76.1 million in the previous fiscal year. Back impairments were the most frequently
cited impairment under the ADA, followed by other orthopedic impairments, depression, anxiety disorder and diabetes.
For the first full fiscal year of enforcement, the EEOC received 245 charges under the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of genetic information, including family medical history.
So far, none of these charges has proceeded to litigation.

2. Private Sector Bias Charges Hit All-Time High http://www1.eeoc.gov/eeoc/newsroom/release/1-24-12a.cfm?renderforpr...
The EEOC is responsible for enforcing Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act,
the Equal Pay Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act.
The fiscal year 2011 enforcement and litigation statistics, which include trend data, are available on the EEOC’s website
