Your statement "In case you're wondering why federal bureaucrats would fall for an obvious New York camera store-style bait-and-switch operator like Diveroli, keep in mind that Jimmy Carter threw out the federal civil service exam back in January 1981 for "disparate impact" and it's never been fully replaced."

This explains it all. There is no exception to the rule that only merit hiring, promotions, etc. result in meritorius people and actions. Nice post.

Steve,
part of my job as an Air Force attorney is to discipline and remove "problem" employees from Federal service. Every base and office is honeycombed with incompetent civilians that somehow manage to stay on or get promoted through the ranks. The result is to have disruptive malcontents that try to immunize their misconduct by filing EEO complaints.

Getting rid of the civil service exams removed the filter that kept bad employees out, but it is the EEO and MSPB systems that help keep the dead wood in.

A Congressional committee revealed Tuesday that by the time the Army awarded the bid, State and Defense Department officials had canceled or delayed at least six earlier contracts with the company, AEY Inc., for poor quality or late deliveries.

Six times? And the Army awarded the bid anyway?

Okay, I'm a little slow so bear with me, but it only just occurred to me that Michael Levin's argument that race-realism is a moral duty (because the establishment has accused whites of responsibility for black failure) has wider application than I thought; people have a moral duty to challenge equalitarianism because things like "disparate impact" are hinged to it. So the next time some whiner asks why you're so mean, you have an easy answer. All independent of blacks per se.

Right you are. And I suspect that the EEO encourages its charges to file racial grievances, and of course the very fact that a grievance has been filed is prima facie evidence of "institutional racism". Which all goes to further cement the importance of the EEO. Look, the manager might say, you've got all this racism here - you really need an EEO. Maybe I even need a bigger staff, and need to hire some of my buddies as diversity consultants.

While I'm hardly an expert on federal contracting, I've worked with people who are, and they have told me that federal contracting rules make it very difficult to penalize poor performance on past contracts with prejudicial treatment of future bids. A fraud conviction will do it, but short of that, contracting officers have very little discretion in preemptively rejecting bids from anybody as long as their paperwork is in order.

On top of which, can you imagine the hue and cry resulting from a bid rejection if the reason given was "Jewish bait-and-switch"?

Is there any sort of hiring criterion that doesn't have a disparate impact? Seriously, how can Griggs hold up?

How were they able to keep the Foreign Service examination going? It's supposedly extremely difficult...

Hey Goyische Kups, any a'y'all gonna update your favorite conspiracy theories from some two whole weeks ago?

Whatever happened to Rep. Waxman's Diveroli hearings?

No? Didn't think so.

"Funny how that works."

I'm the labor and employment attorney at a major Army base, and what Anon said about the Air Force is just as true (I suspect more so) in the Army.

There are a lot of dedicated and competent civilians, and then there are large pockets of deadwood, timeserving worthless employees who are canny/experienced enough to not do anything serious enough to get them fired, but who literally do almost no work, and continue to exist and advance in the system through union grievances, EEO complaints, etc.
