Westminster Ingleside King Farm Presbyterian Retirement Communities, Inc., a management company operating several retirement and assisted living facilities in the Greater Washington area, will pay $85,000 and furnish other relief to settle a race and retaliation discrimination lawsuit filed by the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). According to the EEOC’s suit, Westminster Ingleside violated federal law when it refused to promote a high-performing black manager to an executive-level position based on her race and then fired her when she complained about the discrimination internally and filed a discrimination charge. Such alleged conduct violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race and retaliation for complaining about it.
