During the past few years, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC" or "agency") has steadily expanded its view of the employee rights within its purview.

Among other things, the EEOC has issued guidance and engaged in several lawsuits regarding the alleged discriminatory impact of employers' use of criminal background information in hiring decisions. The agency also has taken the position that sexual orientation and sexual identity, though not listed as protected factors in Title VII, are nevertheless protected under that statute because discrimination based on those factors is discrimination based on a protected factor, that is, sex.
