Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 exempts private membership clubs from coverage. This means that private clubs that restrict membership based on sex, race, religion, or national origin are not subject to the employment discrimination provisions of Title VII. However, private clubs may still be subject to other federal and state laws that prohibit discrimination, such as the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act.
