Race-norming becomes new civil rights test in Washington
AP reports the next civil rights battle centers on race-norming the practice of adjusting job test scores by race. Blacks and Hispanics are scored against their group and percentile ranks boosted, potentially elevating minority candidates over higher performing whites or Asian-Americans. Some 34 states and private firms use it, aided by a suspended Labor Department policy under review by the Bush administration. Rep. Henry Hyde argues it constitutes discrimination and seeks a ban in the civil rights bill.
