Reverse Racial Discrimination Lawsuit Settles For $145,000
William E. Hill, a white man was once the city of Dayton's director of Information and Technology Services until he was fired by former black City Manager Rashad Young. This led to Hill filing a claim of reverse discrimination alleging racial discrimination. The Dayton City Commission will pay a $145,000 to settle this racial discrimination lawsuit.
To further complicate matters, city records show that during Young’s tenure as a manager, half of the 24 employees he hired were white men. The problems began because of a dispute over other employees and in the end Young and Hill were pitted against each other. An exhaustive investigation was completed and in the end the city decided settling was the most practical approach.
