Federal suit targets Illinois State program barring white men
The Justice Department claims Illinois State University violated the Civil Rights Act by using a voluntary affirmative action program that barred white men from its Building Service Workers Learner program for janitors. From 1987 to 1991 the effort trained 60 workers, all nonwhite or nonmen, as they moved toward full building service status. The university says the action aimed to diversify the workforce and took the issue as resolved.
