A federal judge has temporarily enjoined New York City from using its current examination for appointing entry-level firefighter candidates.
Eastern District Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis has temporarily enjoined the New York City from using its current examination for appointing entry-level firefighter candidates. "Because the test questions do not measure the abilities required for the job of entry-level firefighter, the examination cannot distinguish between qualified and unqualified candidates," Judge Garaufis wrote. "What the examination does do is screen and rank applicants in a manner that disproportionately excludes black and Hispanic applicants."
