MUTUAL FUND COMPANY SETTLES EEOC RACE DISCRIMINATION CLAIM
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("E.E.O.C.") has recently announced its settlement of a failure to hire race discrimination claim with one of the nation's largest financial firms.
The E.E.O.C. complaint stated that Barbara Alexander, who is African-American, was amply qualified for the position of financial planning manager, but was not hired, despite performing capably during thirteen in-person interviews. The position ultimately went to a white male. It is significant to note that discrimination may exist in all aspects of the employment relationship, from hiring to promotion to termination.
