Not was, is.

The EEOC was established on July 2, 1965; its mandate is specified under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (ADEA), the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, and the ADA Amendments Act of 2008.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) is an independent federal agency that enforces laws against workplace discrimination. The EEOC investigates discrimination complaints based on an individuals race, color, national origin, religion, sex, age, disability and retaliation for reporting and/or opposing a discriminatory practice. It is empowered to file discrimination suits against employers on behalf of alleged victims and to adjudicate claims of discrimination brought against federal.

It IS still the tiny fed agency that investigates alleged violations of Title VII of 1964 Civil Right ACt, Age Discrimination ACt, Equal Pay Act, and Pregnancy Discrim Act.

It dismisses about 90% of charges it receives, and files suit in about 0.5% of charges it receives. Almost all EEO lawsuits are private suits at the plaintiff's expens with no EEOC involvement.
