Title VII Definition of Person


Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, what is the definition of the term “person”? Here's my point of view (NOTE: please read our DISCLAIMER before proceeding).

DEFINITION OF PERSON

The relevant law is found under 42 U.S.C. § 2000e, and it defines the term “person” as follows:

(a) The term “person” includes one or more individuals, governments, governmental agencies, political subdivisions, labor unions, partnerships, associations, corporations, legal representatives, mutual companies, joint-stock companies, trusts, unincorporated organizations, trustees, trustees in cases under title 11, or receivers.

42 U.S.C. § 2000e (emphasis and hyperlink added).
