11. Nothing contained in this section shall be construed to bar any
religious or denominational institution or organization, or any
organization operated for charitable or educational purposes, which is
operated, supervised or controlled by or in connection with a religious
organization, from limiting employment or sales or rental of housing
accommodations or admission to or giving preference to persons of the
same religion or denomination or from taking such action as is
calculated by such organization to promote the religious principles for
which it is established or maintained.

12. Notwithstanding the provisions of subdivisions one, one-a and
three-a of this section, it shall not be an unlawful discriminatory
practice for an employer, employment agency, labor organization or joint
labor-management committee to carry out a plan, approved by the
division, to increase the employment of members of a minority group (as
may be defined pursuant to the regulations of the division) which has a
state-wide unemployment rate that is disproportionately high in
comparison with the state-wide unemployment rate of the general
population. Any plan approved under this subdivision shall be in writing
and the division's approval thereof shall be for a limited period and
may be rescinded at any time by the division.
