According to the consent decree, the complaint alleged that the Defendant violated Title VII because it did not hire a female applicant because of her sex. There were no major procedural events, and the parties entered into a consent decree in April 2000. The consent decree required the Defendant to continue to not discriminate or retaliate based on sex; conduct at least six hours of annual training; and post and distribute a notice of employee rights under Title VII, the ADEA, the EPA, and the ADA.
