Case Summary

On December 17, 2003 a white applicant to the police force, filed suit against the City of Boston in the District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Boston's method of selecting police officers was unconstitutional. The suit challenged a consent decree the City entered in 1975 which had been designed to produce parity in the racial composition of the city and that of the police department. Applicants must meet a variety of requirements, including passing an entrance exam. …

On December 17, 2003 a white applicant to the police force, filed suit against the City of Boston in the District Court for the District of Massachusetts alleging that Boston's method of selecting police officers was unconstitutional. The suit challenged a consent decree the City entered in 1975 which had been designed to produce parity in the racial composition of the city and that of the police department. Applicants must meet a variety of requirements, including passing an entrance exam. After the exam candidates are separated into two ranked lists, one for Caucasian applicants and one for minority applicants. The lists were then combined by alternating applicants from each list. The consent decree was to remain in effect until the percentage of minorities in the police force was commensurate with that of the city. The complaint also alleged gender discrimination in the selection of officers. The suit sought both compensatory and injunctive relief requiring immediate hiring of plaintiff and ceasing the discriminatory hiring procedures.

Additional white applicants joined the action and an amended complaint was filed on March 5, 2004. On July 15, 2004 plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction and summary judgment. At issue was whether the consent decree still applied. The district court (Judge Patti B. Saris) ruled on November 23, 2004 that it did not since rough parity had been achieved and thus plaintiffs were entitled to summary judgment. Summary judgment was denied on the gender discrimination claims. The parties engaged in negotiations regarding the remedy resulting in an order on January 26, 2005 requiring that the plaintiffs be placed at the top of the hiring list in the next hiring cycle and that should they be hired by meeting the additional requirements that they be granted retroactive seniority. The parties then negotiated regarding fees and costs and entered a satisfaction of judgment on September 19, 2005.
