AI Overview
Section 703(j) of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
is the part that prohibits racial quotas, stating that no employer is required to grant preferential treatment based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin to correct an existing workforce imbalance. Title VII, in general, prohibits employment discrimination on the basis of these protected characteristics, including in hiring and promotion.
