Federal courts have subject matter jurisdiction over cases that arise under federal law. (28 U.S.C., § 1331.) Thus, if a plaintiff includes a federal claim in his or her complaint, such as a discrimination claim under Title VII, a defendant may remove the case to federal court.
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas was named the eighth Chairman of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission by President Ronald Reagan on and served as Chairman of the EEOC until March 8, 1990, making him the longest serving Chairman of the agency.
As set forth in Title VII, EEOC receives and investigates charges of discrimination against state and local governmental employers and, if it finds cause to believe that a Title VII violation has occurred, attempts to conciliate those charges.
