The House Education and Labor Committee backed a Democratic civil rights bill to give the EEOC sweeping enforcement authority against job discrimination. A Republican substitute failed 19-14, while the final measure passed 21-12.

It also aims to include women professors facing discrimination in hiring and promotion.
