A new report on the justice department made the front page of the New York Times today, as the department has been accused of using “political and ideological factors” to award and/or discriminate in the hiring process.
The inspector-general, who conducted the study, concluded:
“Many qualified candidates” were rejected for the department’s honors program because of what was perceived as a liberal bias, the report found. Those practices, the report concluded, “constituted misconduct and also violated the department’s policies and civil service law that prohibit discrimination in hiring based on political or ideological affiliations.”
