Rights unit action rejected by judge in Cedar Rapids case
Judge William Jads dismissed a complaint by Don Parr and Judy McCarthy against Cedar Rapids Community School District over maternity leave policy. The ruling sustains the district’s claim that the Human Rights Commission overstepped by ordering remedies and compensation. The judge found the commission unconstitutional in its authority except where courts would review legal points, noting home rule may empower a city council to create a commission with investigative powers.
