Case Summary

In March 2006, the EEOC's San Francisco District Office filed suit in United States District Court, District of Hawaii, against Chaminade University, alleging that the university violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act when it refused to hire a female job applicant because she was pregnant.

In March 2006, the EEOC's San Francisco District Office filed suit in United States District Court, District of Hawaii, against Chaminade University, alleging that the university violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act when it refused to hire a female job applicant because she was pregnant.

The parties made cross-motions for summary judgment. The defendant alleged plaintiffs failed to mitigate damages and asserted five defenses; both motions were denied. The EEOC's motion for partial summary judgment was granted. In June 2007, the case was resolved by a consent decree.

Under the terms of the consent decree, the charging party was awarded $50,000, and the defendant was ordered to develop an anti-discrimination policy, to implement training for its employees, and to establish a procedure for investigating complaints of discrimination. The consent decree was set to last for four years from the date of entry on June 19, 2007. However, on March 12, 2010, the court removed the case from its docket and closed the action without prejudice, with terms and conditions of the decree remaining in effect. The court cited no material change in the status of the action or consent decree, and decided an administrative closing would be appropriate. The full length of the consent decree has now passed, and the case is presumed officially closed.

CONSENT DECREE 56 . Signed by Judge SAMUEL P KING on 6/19/07. (Consent Decree prepared by counsel) . [This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this action and over the Parties for the purposes of entering and enforcing this Consent Decree for a period of four (4) years from entry of this Decree. The Complaint asserts claims that, if proven, would authorize the Court to grant the relief set forth in this Decree. This Court will retain jurisdiction over this Decree for all purposes until the expiration of Chaminades obligations as set forth herein. This Consent Decree shall terminate four (4) years from the date of entry by the court, unless the Commission petitions this court for an extension of the Decree because of noncompliance by Chaminade. If the Commission determines that Chaminade has not complied with the Decree, the Commission will provide written notification of the alleged breach to Chaminade and will not petition the court for enforcement sooner than sixty (60) days after providing written notification. The sixty−day period following written notice shall be used by the parties for good faith efforts to resolve the issue. If the Commission petitions the court and the court finds Chaminade to be in substantial violation of the terms of the Consent Decree, the court may extend this Consent Decree. Except as provided in the preceding paragraph, four (4) years after the entry of this Consent Decree, this lawsuit will be dismissed with prejudice, provided that the Chaminade has complied substantially with the terms of this Consent Decree. Chaminade will be deemed to have complied substantially if the Court has not made any findings or orders during the term of the Decree that Chaminade has failed to comply with any of the terms of this Decree.] (ecs, ) (Entered: 06/20/2007)
