Case Analysis 2 Question

Case Analysis 2 Question

Q You are the CAO. Develop a plan, recognizing that it will have to be approved by a judge who will tolerate no more delays. At the same time, you must understand that the judge is bound to analyze the plan according to the strict scrutiny standard. Thus, you must remedy the effects of the discrimination, but your plan must not place too much of a burden for the remedy on innocent nonminority workers. Reminder: Case Analysis papers should be a minimum of TWO FULL pages of text (typewritten). Case Analysis papers should reflect 12-point font with double spacing between the lines, and the proper format (APA style) when citing or referencing published materials. While these papers require APA formatting, neither an Abstract nor a Title Page are necessary, but a REFERENCES page at the end is mandatory.

In 2012, a group of Hispanic Americans sued the city government for discrimination in employment practices in the police and fire departments. The court encouraged the parties to enter a consent decree, which they did. The consent decree called for the city to cease its discrimination, to identify the victims of discrimination, to make the hiring of the qualified victims a priority, and to establish hiring and promotion goals that would bring the percentage of Hispanic Americans in the public-safety departments on par with the number of qualified potential Hispanic-American applicants in the surrounding labor market.
