Which agency investigates sexual harassment cases on the federal level?

• A. Department of Justice
• B. Texas Commission on Human Rights
• C. National Labor Relations Board
• D. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission

Answer: (D)

The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission is the federal agency that investigates and enforces laws prohibiting workplace discrimination, including sexual harassment under Title VII. It handles complaints, conducts investigations, and can pursue remedies through mediation, settlements, or lawsuits when discrimination is found. The Department of Justice handles broader federal civil rights and other matters but isn’t the primary agency for employment harassment complaints. The Texas Commission on Human Rights is a state-level agency in Texas, not federal. The National Labor Relations Board focuses on unfair labor practices and union-related issues, not general harassment under federal civil rights law.
