Allegations of employment discrimination have prompted a request for a federal investigation. A lawyer has asked the US Department of Justice to look into hiring practices. The request was made in a lengthy letter to the DOJ's Civil Rights Division.
The letter was sent by an attorney representing two former officials who have filed lawsuits related to employment practices. The attorney has a history of challenging the agency in court over issues like affirmative action.
Further details about the request and the alleged discrimination are available from the source. The investigation would examine potential patterns of discrimination under federal law.
