EEOC Case Summary : EEOC v. Renaissance III
Significant EEOC race discrimination cases under Title VII
In July 2006, EEOC settled a Title VII action against a Dallas-based HIV service agency, in which four Black employees were allegedly racially harassed by the center's founder and former Executive Director, who is also African American. The persistent same-race harassment - which was reported to management and the Board of Directors - included graphic language, racial slurs and pejorative insults. Although it ceased operations, the agency agreed to pay $200,000 to the aggrieved employees.EEOC v. Renaissance III, No. 3:05-1063-B (N.D. Tex. July 19, 2006).
