Module Four Case Assignment: The New Haven Firefighters Affirmative Action has not received this kind of attention in a long time
Supreme Court Justice Sonya Santomayor ruled on a case in New Haven CT where there was a claim that the testing used for promotion within the New Haven fire department discriminated against minorities. This is not a law course so the legal details are not interesting here. We want to look at the managerial implications of this morally charged situation. So let's leave aside the issues of judicial activism and hermeneutics (interpretation) as a creative activity. From a managerial perspective I want to know:
Did the city of New Haven act reasonably in rejecting the test results based on the lack of minority representation?
