The EEOC's Los Angeles district office sued Churchill Downs California Company, d/b/a Hollywood Park Racetrack, on August 4, 2003 in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The EEOC alleged that the defendant violated Title VII when it discriminated by retaliating against the complainant for participating in an EEOC investigation. The parties entered into a consent decree on September 2, 2004, which stipulated that the defendant would pay the complainant $60,000 in damages, post a notice of compliance with Title VII, provide Title VII training to its managers and employees, revise and distribute its non-discrimination policy, provide for an EEO compliance official, maintain records of discrimination/retaliation, and report complaints of discrimination or retaliation to the EEOC semiannually.
