Civil service exams not discriminatory, judge says

The Boston Globe reports:
A federal judge ruled on Friday that civil service promotional exams used by Boston police and several other departments in the Commonwealth between 2005 and 2008 did not discriminate against minority officers, sparking condemnation from the plaintiffs and a vow to appeal.

The decision from US District Court Judge George A. O’Toole Jr. means that departments are not required to change their testing procedures. Boston police in recent years have earmarked more than $2 million in an effort to make the exams more equitable.
If this keeps up: how can Jesse Jackson make money?
