EEO Cases in Federal District Court
During Fiscal Year (FY) 2011, DHS had 229 civil actions in Federal District Court, pending or resolved under the laws covered in the No FEAR Act. The majority of those Federal District Court filings arose under Title VII (143), followed by filings under the ADEA (51), the Rehabilitation Act (31), the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989 (4), and the EPA (0).
During FY 2011, Federal District judges disposed of 89 cases: 71 were decided in favor of the Department and 18 were resolved by settlement. For further information regarding FY 2011 employment discrimination and whistleblower cases filed in Federal District Court against DHS, see Appendix 1.
