Case Summary

In December 1997, the Cleveland Office of the EEOC filed this lawsuit against Vocational Guidance Services in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District Court of Ohio. We do not have a copy of the complaint; therefore, the exact allegations involved are unknown. The parties settled the lawsuit shortly thereafter in April 1998 through a consent decree. We do not have a copy of the agreement; therefore, the exact remedies involved are unknown.
