EEOC in UK or is it Europe
THere is an EEOC mentioned in various UK papers, and I'm guessing it's a European thing, similar to the US - does anyone know about it? --Nunners 10:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)


 * There's a European EEOC: "East European Organised Crime." I think it's a task force of some kind.  Ex0pos 06:04, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Watch this page for spam, please
I removed two links that were inserted for commercial gain:

http://www.eeocoffice.com http://www.eeoccomplaint.com

Each of these sites contains a mere whiff of helpful information (barely enough to justify inclusion in this article), and charges for information and services that the EEOC itself offers for free. It's basically repackaged EEOC materials. So, really, someones trying to make a buck off both the EEOC and Wikipedia. Feh.

Some sleuthing: a whois quiery on these external sites, and similar websites which this individual (208.189.75.233) has placed here and there throughout wikipedia are all owned by a certain attorney named Robert Wiley, out of Dallas, TX. Also: the IP address used for this misuse of wikipedia (208.189.75.233) also traces directly back to Atty. Wiley. Ex0pos (talk) 01:50, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Checked today, no spam present. Sdegan (talk) 22:54, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

The URLs involved currently receive PHP/HTTP errors. 24.155.244.245 (talk) 22:56, 26 July 2019 (UTC)

Commissioners
The Commissioners of the EEOC, according to the official website:


 * Stuart J. Ishimaru, Acting Chairman
 * Christine M. Griffin, Acting Vice Chair
 * Constance S. Barker, Commissioner

The commissioners should appear in the article, and there should be links to their bios. --DThomsen8 (talk) 19:45, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

No objection from this editor. Dave Golland (talk) 12:16, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok this article completely unnecessarily has some reference to Fox News' dislike of the current commissioner. This is irrelevant and hardly significant enough to make it onto this page. I am going to remove it. Also, this page is really weak. There are numerous elements of the EEOC that are left off here. JohnDBurgess (talk) 18:32, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Belmont Abbey College
I noticed that there was a controversy about discrimination charges launched against Belmont Abbey College for not providing employees wiith contraception coverage. The educational institution views the matter in terms of freedom of religion and feels that its first amendment rights are being violated. ADM (talk) 14:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Assessment note
I would have assessed the article as a B, but there is very little information about what the Commission actually does. This seems at least as significant as political maneuvering. --Danger (talk) 00:34, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Cow Bell
The San Diego office has a small cow bell in its waiting room. I imagine it's used for summoning an employee if and when a complaining party finds the reception booth unmanned. This tool in itself is demeaning and discriminatory to both the complainant and the federal employee who is summoned by its tinkles. Even though this local EEOC has had numerous office moves in the past decade or so, it has retained this hand-held cow bell (not to be confused with the kind that is strapped around a bovine neck), it has not been lost or misplaced in its transitions.

Should this be included into the main article? What sort of person would respond to a cow bell? It's not the typical buzzer, and the implications of it suggest the possible irrelevancy that some EEOC employees view many complaints.--76.212.156.197 (talk) 00:31, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

children?
Lede says "The EEOC investigates discrimination complaints based on an individual's race, children, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, genetic information, and retaliation for reporting, participating in, and/or opposing a discriminatory practice." Having or not having children is a protected class? The word children doesn't appear anywhere else in the article. I think this might be referring to pregnancy? --valereee (talk) 22:17, 28 May 2019 (UTC)

Remove Advertising Tag
Removed advertising tag because of the fact that the section involved only merely cites statistics and figures, and within view of WP:COMMON it is clearly not an advertisement as the EEOC is a government agency with exclusive jurisdiction of matters under it's purview, and therefore does not have competition. Therefore there would be no reason to advertise. The section is the most appropriate manner of articulating the facts in view of WP:COMMON. 24.155.244.245 (talk) 22:52, 26 July 2019 (UTC)
