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.”
