The Opportunity Agenda filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Ricci v. DeStefano. In this case, the City of New Haven, CT, declined to certify the results of a firefighter promotion test based on evidence that the test was discriminatory in its operation, and fairer and more effective tests were available. Firefighters who scored highly on the flawed test sued the city, claiming that throwing out the test discriminated against them based on their race.
Our brief was in support of the city and it's attempts to protect equal opportunity and ensure freedom from discrimination for everyone.
