Abstract

This study uses unpublished EEOC data from 1979 to 1989 to concentrate on how dwindling resources and policy changes advocated by the EEOC chairs regarding the time and intensity devoted to antidiscrimination cases may have yielded regional variation in discrimination outcomes. The authors arrive at two major conclusions. First, evidence here suggests that the EEOC counteracted potential regional resistance against antidiscrimination laws. Second, the authors argue that the seeming inefficiency of the EEOC during Clarence Thomas's first years as EEOC chair appears to have occurred because he inherited a large pool of low-merit cases.
