The Civil Rights Act of 1991 must be modernized to reflect the current times. 

Did you know the financial relief available to victims of workplace discrimination hasn't changed since 1991? A compelling letter to Congress from EEO expert George Dorsey/Dorsey Consulting Group calls for an urgent update to the Civil Rights Act of 1991.

While everyone from federal judges to administrative staff has received cost-of-living adjustments (often exceeding 80% pay increases since the Act's passage), the caps on damages for individuals harmed by discrimination (based on race, gender, disability, etc.) remain stuck at 1991 levels ($50k-$300k). This means victims are receiving far less than what's needed to cover their losses in today's economy, potentially losing out on hundreds of millions collectively.

The letter proposes a fair and logical fix: adjust these damage caps annually for inflation, just like the federal government does for civil penalties it imposes. This simple change would ensure the Civil Rights Act effectively compensates victims and upholds true equal opportunity in our modern economic landscape.

Immigration and Naturalization Service uses a myopic view of  American history to educate new immigrants.
