Using Statistical Evidence To Enforce The Laws Against Discrimination, Kenneth Montlack
Using Statistical Evidence To Enforce The Laws Against Discrimination, Kenneth Montlack
Cleveland State Law Review
In actions brought under a variety of federal statutes barring racial discrimination, the federal judiciary has increasingly relied upon statistical evidence in determining the existence of unlawful discrimination. This article will seek to identify the nature and extent of such reliance on statistical evidence, discuss the reasons for the increasing use of statistical evidence, analyze the significance of the increase, and explore the potential for using statistical evidence in actions by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission.

Current Remedies For The Discriminatory Effects Of Seniority Agreements, Irving Kovarsky
Current Remedies For The Discriminatory Effects Of Seniority Agreements, Irving Kovarsky
Vanderbilt Law Review
This article focuses primarily upon the remedies that can be used to reconcile the preservation of legitimate objects of a seniority system with equal treatment for black workers. To provide a historical perspective demonstrating the need for these remedies, the article initially will describe the availability of relief against discriminatory seniority agreements under federal labor legislation. The article will then examine available remedies under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and under recent interpretations of the Civil Rights Act of 1866. In the concluding section, possible ways to utilize existing remedies to combat more effectively the discriminatory …

Discrimination Against Women In Employment In Higher Education, Alan Miles Ruben, Betty J. Willis
Cleveland State Law Review
Having been forced to adjust the structure of academic governance and the design of the curriculum responsively to large-scale student protest, it now appears that universities will have to rework their traditional patterns for the appointment, compensation and promotion of faculty and administrative staff to satisfy the demands being made by the women's liberation movement for an end to sexist employment practices.

Civil Rights--Segregation--Federal Income Tax: Exemptions And Deductions--The Validity Of Tax Benefits To Private Segregated Schools, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In granting the preliminary injunction, the district court found that plaintiffs were asserting a substantial constitutional claim and had a reasonable possibility of success. Balancing the equities of the parties, the court decided that the possibility of significant adverse effect on the Commissioner and schools awaiting tax benefits was not great and was in any event far outweighed by the harm which could result from a denial of the requested relief pendente lite. Thus, the court found that the threat of irreparable injury justified the issuance of a preliminary injunction. The propriety of the court's decision to grant a preliminary …

Non-Discrimination In The Sale Or Rental Of Real Property, Edward W. Brooke, T. A. Smedley, Arthur Kinoy, Sam J. Ervin, Jr.
Vanderbilt Law Review
The final version of the Fair Housing title anticipates a more active role for the federal government in the areas not presently covered by state or prior federal law. There is a central distinction between the protection afforded by the Act and the Jones decision. Where the latter recognizes the right of citizens to have their rights adjudicated, the former recognizes that not every victim of discrimination is willing or can afford to undergo the difficulty and expense of private litigation. The Fair Housing Law therefore provides for certain types of federal initiative to guarantee those rights. At the same …

A Comparative Analysis Of Title Viii And Section 1982, T. A. Smedley
Vanderbilt Law Review
Future chroniclers of the struggle for racial justice in the United States may note with some perplexity that the federal government,after a century of cautiously eschewing the power to combat racially discriminatory practices in housing, suddenly in 1968 entered the battle on two fronts. On April 11, The Civil Rights Act of 1968, with its Fair Housing Title, became the law of the land. Just over two months later the Supreme Court in Jones v. Alfred H. Mayer Co.ruled, on the basis of earlier legislation, that refusal to sell housing because of the race of the prospective purchaser is unlawful. …

Affirmative Action: A Robin Hood Hiring In Federally Aided Construction, Frederick W. Lambert
Affirmative Action: A Robin Hood Hiring In Federally Aided Construction, Frederick W. Lambert
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Executive Order 11246, promulgated in September 1965, requires that all federal financial aid applicants incorporate into construction contracts and sub-contracts the same guarantees of equal employment opportunity that are required of parties in a direct contractual relationship with the government. Each contractor must "take affirmative action to ensure that [job] applicants are employed… and treated during employment" in a nondiscriminatory manner and must guarantee that his subcontractors will also take such affirmative action. Responsibility for enforcement of the Order was delegated to the newly-established Office of Federal Contract Compliance (OFCC). The OFCC drafted guidelines 6 requiring contractors and major subcontractors …
