How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • \We are not persuaded that a preference for family members is inevitably the flip side of racial animus for purposes of federal law.\
  • “To hold that favoritism toward friends and relatives is per se violative of Title VII would be, in effect, to rewrite federal law.”
  • “We have held that Title VII is not an exclusive remedy for employment discrimination by a public entity. A state employee may still bring a Fourteenth Amendment challenge under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to discriminatory employment decisions.”
