“After a judge ruled that the state’s 2002 and 2004 firefighter exams discriminated against blacks and Hispanics, state officials have agreed to a plan that would give top priority to some of those minority candidates in future hiring.

Lawyers told a federal judge yesterday that under the proposal, high-scoring minority candidates who would have been hired if the tests were not discriminatory would be placed at the top of a new civil service list to be issued Dec. 1. All other candidates on the new list would be ranked according to their scores on an exam given last June.”
