A group of black police officers filed suit against the City of Little Rock, Arkansas, alleging racial discrimination by the Police Department in promotion of officers. The promotions were made by selecting those officers who were ranked highest on a composite score ranking list based on the score on a written exam and the weighted score from a personal interview. The interview was conducted by senior officers who were all whites, and the scoring was done subjectively by those officers. The black officers produced evidence that showed that blacks averaged a score of 39.6 on the written exam, while white officers averaged a score of 38.5; for the personal interview, blacks were given an average score of 12.96 points, while whites were given an average score of 14.38 points. The effect of the composite ranking of the two scores for candidates for promotion was that, because of the personal interview, blacks, on average, went down fourteen positions on the composite ranking, while whites, on average, went up one position. Because promotions were made based on relative ranking by composite score, blacks were not likely to be promoted; indeed, the department had only one black officer promoted above sergeant in its history. Requirement: Postings to discussion board questions should use the following format: Analysis - present the legal arguments related to the question. This should be very thorough. Management tips - provide management with advice on how to correct the current situation and/or how to prevent such a situation in the future References - at least two per answer. Wikipedia and my class notes are not acceptable references. Please clearly label each section. To assist you in developing complete postings to lesson questions, the following tips should be followed. The analysis and management tips should be provided for all questions posted for each lesson. Your analysis should illustrate your understanding of the material covered and should be very detailed. Management tips should be provided to inform management of how to correct the situation presented or how to prevent it in the future. Please clearly label each section when posting. Remember to include at least two references in each analysis. References can include your text book, but it must also include an outside source such as another book, article, or court case. Wikipedia is not an acceptable source. Resources are available through the University Library. Please make sure to cite outside sources sufficiently for me to locate. I recommend using APA format. An example of various APA reference formats are as follows: Court Case: Knight v. Alabama, 787 F. Supp. 1030 (1991). Magazine Article: Kulis, S., Chong, Y., & Shaw, H. (1999). Discriminatory organizational contexts and black scientists on postsecondary faculties. Research in Higher Education, 40(2), 115-148. Book: Heneman, H.G., III, & Judge, T.A. (2006). Staffing organizations (5th ed.). New York: McGraw-Hill/Irwin. The online databases made available through the University Library are a great resource. Lexis/Nexis and Westlaw are great resources for court cases while Academic Search Premier is very good for full-length articles. To provide a better understanding of my grading policies, a grading matrix has been posted under the Syllabus link. Please refer to the grading matrix for information on lesson posting deductions.
