Man fails appeal over high police test score in New London
Robert Jordan, who scored 33 on a 1996 police intelligence test, lost his federal suit claiming discrimination after New London police interviewed only candidates scoring 20 to 27. The 2nd U.S. Circuit upheld a lower court, saying the policy applied rationally to all applicants to cut turnover. Jordan remains a prison guard and plans no further action.
