- Summary:
- In 2008, leaders at Columbine Health Systems (CHS) began to require its personal care providers to pass a written test, which they had not validated, to ensure job-readiness. Employees took the test, which adversely impacted four of the nine African employees who failed to answer 75% of the questions correctly. This led to the termination of these employees. Following their terminations, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) brought suit, which CHS settled for $335,000. In the wake of this settlement, CHS faced a public relations crisis.
