On June 29, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down their 5-4 decision on the Ricci v. DeStefano case. The justices stated the city’s action in discarding the tests violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The Court applied a "strong-basis-in-evidence" requirement and ruled that the City failed to meet this requirement because "fear of litigation alone" was insufficient to justify throwing out the exam results.
