That’s one hell of a costly lesson.
The city could be liable for as much as $455 million in damages after a federal court ruled that a decades-old teacher certification exam discriminated against black and Hispanic applicants.
The ruling in the 16-year-old case stood up the main argument brought by already-working minority teachers that the Department of Education violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by basing employment decisions on an exam whose use had never been validated.
