Civil Rights Division Employee Sues DOJ, Alleges Discrimination

Posted on Saturday 31 May 2008

A 13-year veteran paralegal in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice has filed a suit claiming she was discriminated against and harassed by managers who repeatedly passed her over for advancement because she is African-American. Joi Hyatte alleges that the DOJ "actively" sought only white and Hispanic candidates for higher-paying analyst positions. An attorney representing Hyatte says at least six other African-Americans in the voting section have complained of similar treatment.
