In the case of Ricci vs. DeStefano,the city of New Haven knowingly,willingly,and purposely used a promotional test that wasn't validated,which resulted in disparate impact or adverse impact on Black and Hispanic applicants.
In the Ricci case the City of New Haven did not show that the promotional test used for firefighters was remotely job-related or whether the test had a business necessity. Therefore the question has to be asked as to why would the city of New Haven use a promotional exam that hadn't been validated ?
It appears as though the city of New Haven was inviting and encouraging a lawsuit by its' careless,reckless,and poor personnel practices and procedures.
