Office of Equal Opportunity

Matthew Murphy, Acting Director

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is fully committed to a strong equal opportunity program without regard to race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or reprisal. 

As the federal agency charged with the enforcement of this nation’s employment rights laws, it is the Commission’s policy to provide equality of opportunity in all of its employment programs to all persons and to prohibit discrimination in all aspects of the agency’s personnel policies, practices and operations. 

Employees and applicants for employment with the EEOC who believe that they have been discriminated against by an EEOC employment decision because of race, color, sex, religion, national origin, age, disability, sexual orientation or reprisal may pursue such claims through the discrimination complaint process administered by the EEOC’s Office of Equal Opportunity.
