• a party’s employees’ “convenience is of lesser relevance,” because they “can be compelled to testify on behalf of their employer”
• “[T]he party seeking the transfer must clearly specify the essential witnesses to be called and must make a general statement of what their testimony will cover” (citation omitted)
• interests of Justice weighed against transfer because public policy behind the forum provision contained in Title VII favors permitting the plaintiff to pursue her Title VI claims in the venue in which the alleged employment practice is alleged to have been committed
