Case Summary

The Charlotte District Office of the EEOC brought this action in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina against Barton College. The complaint, filed in June 2001, alleged sex discrimination in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The complaint specifically alleged that the Defendant refused to hire the charging pary based on her pregnancy.

The parties agreed to a consent decree in July 2002. The decree, which had a term of 2 years, required the Defendant to pay $20,000 to the charging party. The decree also contained non-discrimination and non-retaliation provisions, as well as required the Defendant to: post a non-discrimination notice, report to the EEOC at specified intervals, and provide a one-time Title VII training session for its employees.
