Definition

  • It is imperative for all employees in sport organizations to have working knowledge of Title VII allowances and prohibitions so as to effectively manage the organization within the law. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (as amended by the Civil Rights Act of 1991 and the Lilly Ledbetter Act of 2009) allows all persons access to equal employment opportunities by prohibiting discrimination in any aspect of employment (e.g., hiring, training, compensation, promoting, discharge) on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
